FeSi 45% Silicon Recovery Grade from United States
FeSi 45% Silicon Recovery Grade is a lower-silicon ferrosilicon alloy (45% silicon) designed for high recovery rates in aluminum and magnesium alloy production. It falls under tariff item 7202.29.00 as 'other' ferro-silicon because its silicon content is below the standard high-silicon categories (55-80%). This grade is fine-tuned for non-ferrous applications where controlled silicon addition is critical.

Import Tips
• Document the silicon content (45%) clearly on the commercial invoice, as this determines classification under 7202.29.00 rather than higher-silicon subheadings
• Be prepared to explain the product's use in aluminum or magnesium alloy production to CBSA if asked
• Verify that the product meets the ferro-alloy definition in Chapter Note 1(c), including iron content of 4% or more
