Abstract: The Aluminum Import Monitoring and Analysis (AIM) System is vital to facilitate the real-time monitoring of aluminum imports in a volatile market. AIM will operate under the authority vested as part of the Census Act (13 U.S.C. 301(a) and 302). The Aluminum Import License Application collects the necessary information. If the total value of the covered aluminum portion of an entry is less than $5000, applicants may use a low-value license in lieu of a regular import license. ITA is seeking a non-substantive change request to add common form to the title.
