Standard Spiegeleisen Sows
Large sow-shaped castings of spiegeleisen, a high-silicon, high-manganese pig iron used in foundries for gray iron production. HTS 7201.50.60.00 applies to this primary form spiegeleisen, distinct from other alloy pig irons by its specific mirror-like fracture and composition. Essential for introducing alloying elements during melting.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If turned or machined after casting
Ferrous waste/scrap from further worked primary forms goes to heading 7204.
If other ferroalloys with similar composition but different form
Ferroalloys not qualifying as spiegeleisen fall under 7202 residuals.
If containing substantial slag impurities
Slag from iron/steel with metal content classified in Chapter 26.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'spiegeleisen' with batch analysis; CBP often requires proof against high-strength steel misclassification
• Watch for partial remelting evidence which could reclassify as scrap under 7204
• Ensure weights per unit match primary form declarations (pigs/blocks)
Related Products under HTS 7201.50.60.00
High-Manganese Spiegeleisen Pig
Spiegeleisen in pig form containing high levels of manganese and silicon, used primarily as a ferroalloy additive in steel production to enhance deoxidation and desulfurization. It falls under HTS 7201.50.60.00 as spiegeleisen, a specific type of high-manganese, high-silicon pig iron designed for alloying purposes in primary form. This classification distinguishes it from standard pig iron due to its specialized composition.
Mirror Spiegeleisen Blocks
Spiegeleisen blocks exhibiting the characteristic silvery mirror fracture, high in silicon for steel deoxidizer applications. Falls squarely under HTS 7201.50.60.00 for spiegeleisen in primary block form without further working as per Chapter 72 notes. Used in electric arc furnaces for alloy adjustment.
Silico-Manganese Spiegeleisen Block
Spiegeleisen cast into blocks with elevated silicon and manganese content, serving as a nodulizing agent in cast iron production. Classified under HTS 7201.50.60.00 for its primary form and spiegeleisen composition as defined in Chapter 72. It provides essential alloying elements without further working.
Foundry-Grade Spiegeleisen Pigs
Spiegeleisen pigs optimized for foundry use, with controlled manganese and silicon for consistent nodulization in ductile iron. This primary form product is specifically HTS 7201.50.60.00 as spiegeleisen, per US note definitions excluding further surface treatments. Critical for high-quality castings in automotive parts.
