Antimony Ingots
Pure antimony ingots, containing over 99% antimony by weight, are used in alloy production and flame retardants. Although ingots are typically unwrought, if they have been further worked or are not in a form specified elsewhere, they may fall under this item. This product is classified under tariff item 8110.90.00 as 'Other' articles of antimony.
Antimony Master Alloy Billets
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.
Antimony Powder for Flame Retardants
Processed antimony powder, micronized for dispersion in plastics as a flame retardant, is a worked article of antimony. It is not a chemical compound but a metallic powder in article form. This product falls under tariff item 8110.90.00 as 'Other' articles of antimony.
Antimony Rods for Soldering
Solid antimony rods, extruded for use in specialty soldering applications, are worked articles of antimony. Their pure form, exceeding 99% antimony, excludes them from alloy classification. These rods fall under tariff item 8110.90.00 as 'Other' articles of antimony.
