Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the manganese content (6-30% by weight) to confirm classification as spiegeleisen
• Ensure the granules are not further worked, such as coated or heat-treated
• Check if the granules are subject to any import restrictions or permits by contacting the CBSA

Atomized Iron Granules 4-8mm
Water-atomized iron granules ranging from 4 to 8 mm, composed of pure iron and used primarily for heavy media separation in mineral processing. Their high density and recyclability make them suitable for density-based sorting applications. These granules are classified under tariff item 7205.10.00 as granules of iron, as they are not further worked beyond granulation.
Ferrous Alloy Granules
Granules of ferrous alloys, sized 1-4 mm, used in specialty steel production for nitriding and surface hardening processes. These granules do not meet the specifications for tool steel and are classified under tariff item 7205.10.00 as granules of iron or steel. They are produced by atomization or crushing and are not further worked.
Iron Granules for Sintering
Atomized pure iron granules, 3-10 mm, designed for sintering in powder metallurgy to produce machine parts. These granules are classified under tariff item 7205.10.00 as granules of iron, as they are not further worked beyond granulation. Their high purity makes them suitable for structural applications.
Low-Carbon Steel Granules
Granules of low-carbon steel, containing less than 0.25% carbon, sized 2-6 mm, used for remelting and alloying in secondary steel production. These granules are classified under tariff item 7205.10.00 as granules of steel, as they do not meet the definitions of high-strength or tool steel. They are commonly used in electric arc furnaces.
Pig Iron Granules
Granules of pig iron, produced by atomization or crushing, used as a raw material in metal casting and steelmaking. These granules are distinct from powders due to their larger size and are classified under tariff item 7205.10.00 as granules of pig iron. They are not further worked beyond granulation.
Steel Granules 1-5mm
Granular steel particles sized 1-5 mm, made from low-carbon steel scrap via granulation, used in powder metallurgy and sintering. These granules are classified under tariff item 7205.10.00 as granules of steel, as they are not further worked per chapter notes. They are suitable for various manufacturing applications.
