Aluminium extrusion supplied to Canada: mill or anodised, shipped in 6 m lengths with inch conversion on the packing list.

01Buying aluminium extrusion from China for a Canadian project

Canadian buyers use both spellings, *aluminum* and *aluminium*, and they order in a mix of millimetres and inches. That sounds small but it changes the whole quotation: a Canadian fabricator will ask for a 2 inch x 2 inch x 1/4 inch angle and expect it to match a 50.8 x 50.8 x 6.35 mm section, not a nominal 50 x 50 x 6 mm. The table below converts the common asks so the first quotation is the right one.

The other two things that decide whether an order to Canada goes smoothly are customs classification and the anti-dumping position on Chinese aluminium extrusion. Both are covered further down, with the declaration points your broker will ask for.

Do you ship aluminium extrusion to Canada?

Yes. We supply 6063-T5 and 6061-T6 profiles to Canadian buyers, mill or anodised, mostly in 6 m lengths in a 40HQ container, from Shenzhen or Shanghai. Standard lead time is three to four weeks to a Canadian port, plus inland.

Which spelling and units should the drawing use?

Either spelling is understood. The units matter more: send the drawing in millimetres or in inches, and say which. A drawing that says *2 inch angle* without a tolerance will be quoted as the nearest metric section, which is usually what the buyer wants, but it should be confirmed on the order.

A mill finish angle bound for Canada. Lengths are cut to 6 m for container loading unless the buyer asks for a different cut.

02Millimetre to inch conversion for the common sections

The conversion below uses 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly. Nominal sizes traded in Canada are not always exact conversions, so the table shows the nominal imperial call-out, the exact millimetre equivalent, and the metric section we would quote.

Imperial call-out	Exact mm	Metric section quoted	Weight imperial	Weight metric
3/4 in x 3/4 in x 1/8 in	19.1 x 19.1 x 3.2 mm	20 x 20 x 3 mm	approx. 0.20 lb/ft	0.30 kg/m
1 in x 1 in x 1/8 in	25.4 x 25.4 x 3.2 mm	25 x 25 x 3 mm	approx. 0.27 lb/ft	0.40 kg/m
1-1/4 in x 1-1/4 in x 3/16 in	31.8 x 31.8 x 4.8 mm	30 x 30 x 4 mm	approx. 0.40 lb/ft	0.60 kg/m
1-1/2 in x 1-1/2 in x 3/16 in	38.1 x 38.1 x 4.8 mm	40 x 40 x 5 mm	approx. 0.68 lb/ft	1.01 kg/m
2 in x 2 in x 1/4 in	50.8 x 50.8 x 6.35 mm	50 x 50 x 6 mm	approx. 0.94 lb/ft	1.40 kg/m
4 in x 4 in x 5/8 in	101.6 x 101.6 x 15.9 mm	100 x 100 x 15 mm	approx. 3.45 lb/ft	5.13 kg/m

To convert any weight on this site: kg/m x 0.672 = lb/ft. To convert a length: mm x 0.03937 = inch.

03HS classification and the AD/CVD position

Aluminium extruded profiles ship to Canada under HS heading 7604. The first question your broker asks is whether the profile is hollow or not, because that splits the heading straight away.

HS code	Covers	Our typical product	Note
7604.21	Aluminium alloyed, hollow profiles	T-slot strut with a closed bore	hollow means a closed void along the length
7604.29	Aluminium alloyed, other than hollow	solid angle, flat bar, T-slot with open slots	solid angle sits here
7604.10	Aluminium not alloyed	rarely used, 1050 or 1100 sections	our sections are alloyed
7608.10 / 7608.20	Aluminium tubes and pipes	round tube, pipe	tube is a separate heading from profile

Note that a T-slot strut profile is not hollow in the customs sense if the slot is open to the outside along its full length, because there is no closed void. A closed hollow tube or a two-slot closed section is hollow. Getting this wrong moves the duty rate and, more importantly, changes the declaration under the trade measures on Chinese aluminium extrusion.

Declaration points your broker will ask for

Country of cast: where the aluminium billet was cast, not where it was extruded.
Country of extrusion: where the profile was pushed through the die.
Alloy and temper: for example 6063-T5, with the chemical analysis.
Hollow or not hollow: a plain statement, and a cross-section drawing.
Net weight and value per line, split by section.
Mill certificate: EN 10204 3.1, showing heat number and chemistry.

Trade measures on aluminium extrusion change. Confirm the current rate with your broker before the order is placed, and keep the country-of-cast and country-of-extrusion statements accurate. We supply both on the mill certificate, and we do not re-route material to change the origin.

04Certification: what a profile is and what it is not

A frequent misunderstanding: CSA and cUL marks apply to an electrical product, not to the aluminium it is built from. Our extrusion is a raw material. It is not certified as an electrical component, and it does not need to be, any more than the steel in a machine frame does.

Document	Applies to	Do we supply it	What it covers
Mill certificate 3.1	the aluminium	yes, on request	chemistry, temper, mechanical properties
RoHS / REACH declaration	the aluminium and coating	yes	restricted substances in the material and finish
Dimensional report	the batch	yes	section, wall, straightness, cut length
CSA / cUL	an electrical product	no	the finished product, certified by its maker
Anodising film report	the finish	yes, on request	coating thickness in micron

If the profile is anodised, the film thickness report is the document a Canadian buyer usually wants, because anodising is what carries the corrosion warranty. We report it in micron and in mil (1 mil = 25.4 micron).

05Loading and shipping to Canada

Aluminium extrusion is bulky and light, so you pay for volume, not weight. A 40HQ container takes 6 m lengths well and is the default for a Canadian order.

Item	Figure	Note
Container	40HQ	about 12.0 m internal length
Length packed	6.0 m bundled	fits two runs lengthwise
Bundle cross-section	about 300 x 300 mm	stacked on timber
Typical payload	18 to 22 tonnes	volume-limited, not weight-limited
Packing	interleaved, strapped, timber pallet	no bare bundles for sea freight
Port of loading	Shenzhen, Shanghai, Ningbo	choice affects sailing schedule
Transit to Vancouver	about 18 to 22 days	west coast, then rail
Transit to Toronto	about 28 to 34 days	via Vancouver or Montreal
Trade terms	FOB, CIF, CFR, DDP on request	DDP needs a Canadian broker

For the west coast, Vancouver is the natural entry and then rail inland. For central and eastern Canada, Montreal or Prince Rupert via rail is often faster than an all-water route. Ask for both routings before you book; the difference on a full container can be a week or more.

06Mill or anodised for a Canadian climate

Choose mill finish

The profile is hidden inside a machine or a structure
The part is welded or machined after delivery
Cost is the deciding factor
The environment is indoor and dry
The buyer will paint the finished assembly

Choose anodised

The profile is visible and becomes the finished surface
The application is outdoor or coastal, with road salt or sea air
Colour consistency across the assembly matters
The part must resist handling scratches in transit
The buyer wants a maintenance-free surface

For outdoor Canadian work, 15 micron clear anodising is the usual minimum and 20 micron is better on a coastal job. For inland indoor frames, 10 micron is plenty. Black anodising is popular for machine guards and is supplied at the same film thickness.

07What to check before you order for Canada

Procurement checklist for a Canadian order

Confirm the units: millimetres or inches, and the tolerance.
Confirm the alloy and temper: 6063-T5 or 6061-T6.
Confirm hollow or not hollow for the HS declaration.
Confirm the country of cast and country of extrusion.
Confirm the mill certificate and the film thickness report.
Confirm the packing for sea freight: interleaved, strapped, timber.
Confirm the trade term: FOB, CIF, CFR or DDP.
Confirm the routing: Vancouver or Montreal, and inland delivery.

08Questions Canadian buyers ask

Do you supply aluminium extrusion to Canada?

Yes, in 6063-T5 and 6061-T6, mill or anodised, mostly in 6 m lengths in a 40HQ container from Shenzhen or Shanghai.

What HS code do your profiles ship under?

HS 7604.21 for hollow alloyed profiles and 7604.29 for solid alloyed profiles. A solid angle is 7604.29; a closed hollow section is 7604.21.

Do you handle anti-dumping and countervailing declarations?

We supply the country of cast, the country of extrusion, the alloy and the mill certificate. Your broker files the declaration; we do not re-route material to change the origin.

Is your extrusion CSA or cUL certified?

No. CSA and cUL apply to finished electrical products, not to the aluminium raw material. We supply the mill certificate and the anodising film report instead.

Can you supply inch sizes?

Yes. We quote the nearest metric section to an imperial call-out and state the exact conversion on the drawing. See the conversion table above.

How long does shipping take?

About 18 to 22 days to Vancouver and 28 to 34 days to Toronto, plus inland delivery.

What we need to quote a Canadian order

The section drawing, in mm or inch, with the tolerance.
The alloy and temper: 6063-T5 or 6061-T6.
The length and cut, usually 6 m for container loading.
The finish: mill or anodised, with the micron.
The quantity in metres or pieces, and the destination port.
The trade term: FOB, CIF, CFR or DDP.
The documents you need: mill cert, film report, RoHS declaration.
