Feature of the Month
Aluminum Country of Smelt and Country of Most Recent Cast Dashboards
These monitors contain never before seen supply chain information collected from aluminum import licenses. These monitors make it possible to track where imported aluminum products were most recently cast (country of cast) and provide insight into where primary aluminum used to make the imported products were sourced from (country of smelt).
For more information, visit Getting Started with the AIM System or send the licensing team questions at aluminum.license@trade.gov.
