Graphite Crucible for Metal Casting from China
A high-purity artificial graphite crucible designed for melting and casting non-ferrous metals like gold and silver in jewelry manufacturing. It falls under HTS 3801.10.50 as 'other' artificial graphite in the form of blocks or semi-manufactures, not specified as powder or in plates. These crucibles provide excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to high temperatures.

Import Tips
• Verify purity levels and provide certificates confirming artificial graphite composition to avoid reclassification as natural graphite
• Include end-use documentation if for industrial melting to distinguish from finished furnace parts under Chapter 84
• Check for anti-dumping duties on Chinese graphite products and ensure proper marking of country of origin
