According to the presentation, the following aluminum extrusions are subject to AD/CV duties if they are made from a qualifying alloy:
- Profiles (always extruded) (HTS heading 7604)
- Pipes and tubes (if extruded) (HTS heading 7608)
- Rod and bars (if extruded) HTS heading 7604)
- Incomplete products or parts of unfinished products (if extruded)
- Unfinished heat sinks
- Carpet trim, door thresholds, electrical conduits, fence posts
CBP said merchandise subject to the orders may include products that are:
- Composed of one of the included aluminum alloys in the case (with an Aluminum Association series number commencing with 1, 3 or 6).
- Manufactured by extrusion method.
- Not a finished product i.e. not complete
- Not a kit within meaning of the scope, e.g. aluminum shower door kits without the glass
- Goods identified by reference to their end use as carpet trim, heat sink, etc.
CBP noted that Aluminum Association alloy designations commencing with the number 1, containing not less than 99% aluminum by weight, are considered alloys in the trade and referred to as alloys in the scope, but are actually not classifiable as alloys for tariff purposes.
The following merchandise is always out-of-scope, said CBP, and not subject to the AD/CV duty order on aluminum extrusions:
- Finished products
- Finished heat sinks as defined in the scope
- Complete kits
- Products not extruded
- Products not made of a qualifying alloy
