Low-Alumina Ferrosilicon 75% from United States
Low-Alumina Ferrosilicon 75% is a ferrosilicon alloy with 75% silicon and controlled low aluminum content (<1%), designed for electric arc furnace steelmaking where aluminum pickup must be minimized. It falls under tariff item 7202.29.00 as 'other' ferro-silicon because the low-alumina specification distinguishes it from standard ferro-silicon products. This grade is preferred for clean steel production requiring strict impurity control.

Import Tips
• Document the aluminum content (<1%) in the certificate of analysis, as this is the key distinguishing feature for classification under 7202.29.00
• Be ready to explain the product's use in electric arc furnace steelmaking to CBSA
• Ensure the silicon content (75%) is verified, as products with 55-80% silicon may be classified under 7202.21.00 if the low-alumina specification is not considered significant
