Sponge Iron Lumps from Germany

Sponge iron lumps are produced by direct reduction of iron ore in rotary kilns or tunnel furnaces, resulting in porous, spongy lumps with high metallic iron content. These lumps are commonly used as a substitute for scrap in steelmaking and foundry operations. They fall under tariff item 7203.10.00 as ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of iron ore.

Import Tips

• Ensure the lumps are obtained by direct reduction of iron ore and not from other processes

• Provide a certificate of origin and chemical composition to facilitate customs clearance

• Check if the product qualifies for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement, as this may reduce import costs
