The United States imports of aluminium crude metals and alloys in May 2024 reflected a decline of 18.18 per cent month-on-month to return to the import volume seen in March. Compared to a year ago, the United States aluminium crude metal and alloy imports in May plunged by 33.66 per cent.

According to the USGS data, the United States aluminium crude metal and alloy imports in May 2024 stood at 270,000 tonnes, compared to 330,000 in April and 407,000 in May 2023.
