Details of UAE Aluminum Quotas Released

The details of the United Arab Emirates aluminum quotas will be published on Jan. 25. They will allow 26,467,182 kilograms of wrought aluminum and castings and forgings to enter -- the wrought aluminum under headings 7604, 7605, 7606, 7607, 7608 or 7609; the castings and forgings under 7616.99.51. The quotas also will allow 149,482,620 kilograms of unwrought aluminum under subheading 7061.10, and 454,050,450 kilograms of alloyed unwrought aluminum under subheading 7601.20. Aluminum imports from UAE will not be subject to the 10% tariff under Section 232, since the country agreed to using quotas as an export restraint.
