Ferrochrome Alloy Pig Iron
Pig iron alloyed with chromium (5-15%) cast in pig form, used primarily for producing stainless steels. HTS 7201.50.30.00 covers this as alloy pig iron, distinct from high-carbon ferrochrome ferroalloys.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chromium >30% and supplied as ferrochrome
High-chrome ferrochrome classified separately as ferroalloys under 7202.
If meets tool steel composition specs
Certain chrome-alloy compositions meeting tool steel note (e) shift to semi-finished tool steel products.
If chromium below alloying threshold
Low-alloy content defaults to non-alloy pig iron classification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include spectrographic analysis certifying chromium levels for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure declaration distinguishes from tool steel or razor blade steel definitions in Chapter notes
• Watch for rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 note (h)
