Antimony Master Alloy Billets from Germany
Antimony master alloy billets, where antimony predominates by weight over each other element, are solid extruded or cast products used primarily as an additive in lead-acid battery manufacturing. They are classified under tariff item 8110.90.00 as 'other' articles of antimony, since they are not unwrought metal, waste, scrap, or powders. The billets are worked after casting (e.g., extruded or machined) and do not assume the character of a finished article of another heading.

Import Tips
• Ensure the billets are not considered 'unwrought' (e.g
• simple cast ingots without further working) as those fall under 8110.10.00 with different rates
• Keep certificates of analysis showing antimony content exceeds 99% by weight to confirm 'not alloyed' status if claiming that rate
• Declare the end use (battery manufacturing) to support classification as an article rather than a raw material
