High-Carbon Ferromanganese Lumps from Japan
High-carbon ferromanganese lumps containing over 4% carbon by weight, used primarily as an alloying additive in steel production to enhance hardness and strength. This product falls under HTS 7202.11.50.00 due to its ferromanganese composition exceeding 4% carbon content, distinguishing it from lower-carbon variants. Typically supplied in lump form for foundry and steel mill applications.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content exceeds 4% and manganese levels to confirm classification under 7202.11.50.00
• Declare in lumps or irregular shapes; briquettes or fines may shift to statistical suffixes or require different headings
• Avoid misclassification as silicomanganese (7202.30) by confirming silicon content below 3%
