6061 Aluminum Scrap Supply Line to India
6061 is the structural workhorse of the aluminum world — used in aerospace fittings, marine grade fabrications, structural extrusions and high-strength forgings. The chemistry (Mg 0.8–1.2%, Si 0.4–0.8%, Cu 0.15–0.40%) is harder to hit from random feedstock, so Indian forge billet plants and aerospace alloy recyclers depend on segregated 6061 scrap from quality-controlled European suppliers.
Nautica Metal Scrap B.V. sources 6061 directly from European structural fabricators, aerospace tier-2 machine shops and marine yards. We segregate solids (plate trim, offcut) from turnings, XRF-verify chemistry, and ship 23–25 MT per 20-ft container CIF to Indian ports.
Indian buyers value our chain-of-custody documentation — invoice traceability back to the originating fabricator — because it shortens DGFT valuation reviews and supports their AS9100 supply audits.
Aimed at Indian forge billet plants, aerospace and defence alloy recyclers, marine fabricators, structural extruders and downstream alloy ingot makers that need verified 6061 chemistry.
India Importing Considerations
- 6061 enters India under HS 7602.00 — same 2.5% BCD + 18% IGST as other aluminum scrap.
- Aerospace-origin 6061 may attract additional DGCA/SCOMET scrutiny — declare end-use clearly to avoid customs hold.
- PSIC mandatory under Hazardous & Other Wastes Rules.
- Turnings must be free of cutting oil above 2% by weight — Indian customs occasionally rejects oily turnings.
- Chain-of-custody invoices help during DGFT valuation alerts and IBIS reviews.
