About aluminium ingots and billets from China
China produces more than half of the world’s primary aluminium. Smelters and casthouses in Shandong, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and other provinces supply ingot, billet and alloys.
Chinese export duties and VAT rebates differ between primary ingot and semi-finished products such as billets and extrusions, and they can change. We confirm the export position and the effect on price for every contract.
