High-Carbon DRI Briquettes from China
High-carbon DRI briquettes are produced by direct reduction of iron ore with a controlled carbon deposition process, resulting in briquettes with elevated carbon content. These briquettes are used in foundry and steelmaking applications where additional carbon is beneficial. They fall under tariff item 7203.10.00 as ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of iron ore, regardless of carbon content.

Import Tips
• Verify that the briquettes are indeed obtained by direct reduction of iron ore and not by other methods like melting
• Provide a detailed specification sheet including carbon content and metallic iron percentage
• Be aware that the carbon content does not affect classification under this tariff item, but may influence other regulatory requirements
