More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon content is 2% or less
This would be a medium-carbon ferromanganese, classified separately.
If silicon is a significant component
Ferro-silico-manganese is classified under a different heading.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the carbon content is accurately documented, as it is close to the 2% threshold
• Verify the product is not an alloy pig iron, which would be classified elsewhere
• Check for any applicable trade agreements

Blast Furnace HC Ferromanganese
Blast furnace produced high-carbon ferromanganese averaging 3.2% carbon by weight, used as an additive in stainless steel melting to adjust manganese and carbon content. Its irregular lump shape results from tapping and solidification processes, and it is not usefully malleable, fitting the ferro-alloy definition.
Electric Furnace HC Ferromanganese
High-carbon ferromanganese produced via electric submerged arc furnace, containing more than 4% carbon for desulfurization in steel ladles. The carbon content exceeds 2%, and it is a ferro-alloy, fitting the tariff item's description.
Ferromanganese 75% Mn 2.5% C Lumps
Standard 75% manganese ferromanganese lumps with 2.5% carbon, produced via submerged arc furnace for basic steel desulfurization. The product is a ferro-alloy, not usefully malleable, and contains more than 2% carbon, meeting the tariff item's specification.
Ferromanganese Fines 3.8% C
Crushed ferromanganese fines (<6mm) with 3.8% carbon content, recycled from lump production for ladle metallurgy. Despite the fine size, it remains a ferro-alloy with carbon exceeding 2%, and the size does not affect classification under this tariff item.
Ferromanganese HCFeMn Granules
Granulated high-carbon ferromanganese (HCFeMn) with more than 4% carbon, processed for uniform size and quick dissolution in electric arc furnaces. The granulation does not affect its ferro-alloy status, and the carbon content exceeds 2%.
Foundry HC Ferromanganese Briquettes
Briquetted high-carbon ferromanganese (>4% carbon) for foundry cast iron production, offering dust-free handling and consistent melt addition. The briquetting process does not alter its classification as a ferro-alloy with carbon exceeding 2%.
