Important Update About the Aluminum Licensing Requirement
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is delaying compliance with the final rule, entitled “Aluminum Import Monitoring and Analysis System,” by staying the regulations, 19 CFR part 361, from March 29, 2021, until June 28, 2021.
Unless otherwise announced, compliance for the majority of part 361 and the AIM system will be effective on June 28, 2021, meaning that licenses will be required for all covered aluminum imports on or after this date. A Federal Register Notice announcing the stay of regulations and delay of compliance date is expected to publish on April 1, 2021. Please note that in the case of any discrepancies between this announcement and the Federal Register notice, that the Federal Register notice prevails.
Although Commerce is delaying compliance with the majority of part 361 and the AIM system as described above, Commerce is moving forward with one aspect of the AIM system on March 29, 2021. Specifically, Commerce will release the public AIM monitor on the AIM system website on March 29, 2021.
