Ferroalloys
28 declarable lines
Heading 7202 covers ferroalloys, which are iron alloys used to add elements such as manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, or titanium to steel. The heading is split first by alloy family, then by composition such as carbon or silicon content, and some subheadings are further split by minor elements such as magnesium or phosphorus.
Products in this heading
- Ferromanganese
- Ferrosilicon
- Ferrosilicon manganese
- Ferrochromium
- Ferronickel
- Ferromolybdenum
- Ferrotungsten
- Ferrovanadium
How to choose the right subheading
- Identify the main alloying element, such as manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, or titanium.
- Check the carbon content for ferromanganese and ferrochromium lines.
- Check the silicon content for ferrosilicon lines, including the 55, 80, and 90% thresholds.
- Check minor elements where the lines require them, such as magnesium in ferrosilicon or phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon in ferroniobium.
- Distinguish ferrosilicon chromium from ferrochromium and from ferrosilicon before selecting a code.
Often confused with
- Heading 7201Pig iron in pigs, blocks or other primary forms
Primary iron product, not a ferroalloy.
- Heading 7204Ferrous waste and scrap
Scrap is covered by the waste and scrap heading, not ferroalloys.
- Heading 7205Iron or steel granules and powders
Powders and granules are separate from ferroalloys.
- Heading 7224Other alloy steel in ingots or primary forms
An alloy steel ingot is not a ferroalloy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for ferromanganese with more than 4% carbon?
