Summary: A new executive order has been issued to close a long-standing “valuation loophole.” Previously, some importers only reported the value of the raw aluminum in a product to minimize taxes. The new rule mandates that the full value (including processing and manufacturing) must be reported. For domestic extruders, this effectively levels the playing field against low-cost imported profiles, though it may tighten the supply of specific specialty alloys in the short term.
