According to statistics from US Geological Survey (USGS), in the first half of this year, the US imported 3.21 million tons of aluminum products, of which 126,000 tons were from Russia, including metals, alloys, crude metals, plates, and bars, accounting for 3.93% of the total imports.

The US is mulling whether to impose a complete ban on aluminum imports from Russia as a response to recent Russia’s escalated attack in Ukraine. Affected by this news, the London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminum prices once surged by 7% to US$2,400/ton on Wednesday.
