[SMM Aluminum Flash News] UAE Imposes Four-Month Temporary Export Ban on Certain Aluminum Scrap

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Trade has issued Ministerial Decision No.105 of 2026, introducing a four-month temporary export ban on certain industrial wastes and scrap metals, including aluminum scrap under several HS 7602 codes.
