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 import license information is necessary to assess import trends of covered aluminum products. In order to effectively monitor aluminum imports, Commerce must collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about the imports. The Aluminum Import License is the tool used to collect the necessary information.
