Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is in powder form (90% or more passes a 1mm sieve)
Powders of spiegeleisen are classified separately from granules under the same heading.

Atomized Iron Granules 4-8mm
Water-atomized iron granules sized 4-8mm, composed of pure iron, used for heavy media separation in mineral processing. Their high density and uniform granular form make them suitable for density-based sorting applications.
Ferrous Alloy Granules
Granules of ferrous alloys, 1-4mm, used in specialty steel production for nitriding and surface hardening. These granules do not meet tool steel specifications and are classified as granules of iron or steel.
Iron Granules for Sintering
Atomized pure iron granules (3-10mm) for sintering in powder metallurgy to produce machine parts. These granules are not further worked beyond atomization, qualifying as granules of iron under this tariff item.
Low-Carbon Steel Granules
Granules of low-carbon steel (<0.25% carbon), sized 2-6mm, for remelting and alloying in secondary steel production. These granules do not meet high-strength or tool steel definitions and are classified as granules of steel.
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 particle size and are classified under this item.
Steel Granules 1-5mm
Granular steel particles sized 1-5mm, made from low-carbon steel scrap via granulation for use in powder metallurgy and sintering. These granules are not further worked and are classified as granules of steel.
