Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide a detailed chemical analysis showing molybdenum content and iron content to confirm classification as ferromolybdenum
• Ensure the product is in primary forms (lumps, blocks, granules) as required for ferro-alloys
• Check if the product qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under any free trade agreements

FeMo60 Standard Ferromolybdenum Lumps
Standard ferromolybdenum grade FeMo60 with 60-65% molybdenum, used as an alloying additive in steel production to enhance hardenability and strength. This product falls under tariff item 7202.70.00 as a ferro-alloy of molybdenum, meeting the definition of ferro-alloys in Chapter Note 1(c) with iron content of 4% or more and molybdenum exceeding the specified thresholds.
Ferromolybdenum 70% Mo Standard Grade
Ferromolybdenum containing approximately 70% molybdenum and 30% iron, used primarily as an alloying additive in steel production to enhance hardenability and strength. This product falls under tariff item 7202.70.00 as ferromolybdenum, a ferro-alloy of molybdenum defined in Chapter Note 1(c).
Ferromolybdenum Briquettes for Ladle Additions
Briquetted ferromolybdenum (65-70% Mo) compressed into 1-2kg bricks for efficient ladle metallurgy additions in steelmaking. Briquetting is a minor working process that does not change the product's classification as ferromolybdenum under tariff item 7202.70.00, as ferro-alloys in granular or powder forms, whether or not agglomerated, are included.
High-Purity Ferromolybdenum for Superalloys
Premium ferromolybdenum with 68-72% Mo, ultra-low impurities (P<0.03%, S<0.03%), used in nickel-based superalloys for aerospace turbine blades. This product falls under tariff item 7202.70.00 as ferromolybdenum, as all grades and purity levels of ferromolybdenum are classified under this heading regardless of their end use.
Low-Carbon Ferromolybdenum FeMo65-C
Low-carbon variant of ferromolybdenum with 65% minimum molybdenum content and carbon under 0.1%, designed for producing clean, high-quality tool steels. This product falls under tariff item 7202.70.00 as ferromolybdenum, as the carbon content does not affect the classification of ferro-alloys under Chapter Note 1(c).
Vacuum-Degassed Ferromolybdenum FeMo70-A
FeMo70-A grade produced by vacuum induction melting and degassing, with 68-72% Mo and trace gases, for high-performance stainless steels. This product falls under tariff item 7202.70.00 as ferromolybdenum, as the vacuum processing method does not alter the product's classification as a ferro-alloy of molybdenum.
