Steel Grade High-Carbon Ferromanganese

Premium high-carbon ferromanganese exceeding 4% carbon, tailored for producing high-strength structural steels in ladle metallurgy. HTS 7202.11.50.00 applies to this ferromanganese alloy due to its carbon content surpassing the 4% threshold for deoxidation and manganese alloying. Low phosphorus and sulfur specs ensure steel quality.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7202.11.10.00Lower: 26.4% vs 26.5%

If for lower carbon variants (2-4%)

Carbon percentage directly determines subheading within ferromanganese hierarchy per statistical notes.

2602.00.00Lower: 25% vs 26.5%

If manganese ore, not alloyed

Unreduced manganese ores are Chapter 26 minerals, not Chapter 72 ferroalloys.

7202.21.50.00Higher: 36.5% vs 26.5%

If ferrosilicon-based

Ferrosilicon with >4% carbon shifts to silicon-dominant ferroalloy classification.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify low impurity levels (P<0.3%, S<0.02%) as required for steel-grade specs to avoid reclassification

Use FDA-equivalent documentation if contaminated; clean ferroalloys only qualify under Chapter 72

Monitor quarterly duty updates, as ferromanganese often faces CVD or AD orders from key exporters
