Smelt and Cast Reporting Requirements

To report the primary country of smelt, secondary country of smelt, or country of most recent cast. Importers must report the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) code on aluminum articles and derivative aluminum articles on all countries subject to section 232.  

Filers must report “Y” for primary country of smelt; and/or secondary country of smelt. Filers may not report “N” for both primary country of smelt and secondary country of smelt.

For the Importer’s Additional Declaration Record Type ’07’ if either the derivative aluminum primary and/or secondary country of smelt or country of cast is unknown, report ‘UN’ (unknown) for the ISO country code. When reporting ‘UN’, the 200 percent Section 232 duties for Russia aluminum will be assessed on the entry summary line.

If the imported aluminum is manufactured only from recycled aluminum, then filers should report “Y” for the secondary country of smelt, and report the country reported as the country of origin of the imported article as the secondary country of smelt code.  Take note that aluminum manufactured only from recycled aluminum is not common.  Importers must be able to provide manufacturing documents, upon request, to substantiate the manufacturing process for the recycled aluminum product.

Country of Origin: If the imported product was smelted and cast in the United States, then the importer will report “US” for the country of smelt and “US” for the country of cast.
