Dear community,

We are reaching out to request a system enhancement related to export compliance for shipments to the United States.

As of recent U.S. Customs regulations (Section 232 requirements), we are now obligated to provide specific origin information for aluminum products:

• Country of Primary Smelt

• Country of Most Recent Cast

These fields must be recorded and included in export documentation (e.g. ACE filings or commercial invoices). Failure to provide this information can lead to customs delays, shipment rejections, or even a 200% import duty when the origin is marked as "unknown."

We would need these two structured fields to be added to our ERP system, ideally linked to the product master data.

It’s important that these fields can also be exported through EDI or customs interfaces, if applicable.

If existing custom fields or attributes are available, we would appreciate guidance on how to repurpose them. Otherwise, we’d like to discuss how this can be added through a system update or module extension.

Please let us know what options are available and any estimated lead time.
