U.S. Aluminum Import Monitor

Published by International Trade Administration | Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: June 24, 2025 | Last Modified: 2019-08-01

The ‘Import Monitor’ aggregates detailed license information and makes it available for public analysis on a weekly basis. All imported aluminum products under the U.S. Bureau of the Census (Census) definition of steel mill products are required to have an import license effective June 28, 2021. The data from the licensing system are used in conjunction with similar Census data to put together the ‘Import Monitor’. This Monitor helps alert users to changes in import patterns. The goal of the Import Monitor is to publish accurate, close to real-time aggregate volume, value, and pricing (average unit values of imports) data on aluminum imports through an easily accessible website.
