Steel Grade High-Carbon Ferromanganese from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
