FeSiCa 75 Alloy with 5% Calcium

Ferrosilicon alloy containing 75% silicon, over 5% calcium by weight, used primarily as a deoxidizer and inoculant in steel production. Classified under HTS 7202.21.10.00 due to exceeding 55% silicon, 55-80% silicon range, and more than 3% calcium content per chapter note definitions. Supplied in standard 1 MT jumbo bags for foundry applications.

Alternative Classifications

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

7202.21.50.00Higher: 36.5% vs 36.1%

If calcium content 0.5-3% by weight

Lower calcium levels fall into the general 55-80% silicon ferrosilicon subheading without the >3% calcium specification.

7202.29.00Lower: 35% vs 36.1%

If silicon content below 55% but contains calcium

Ferrosilicon with ≤55% silicon moves to other ferrosilicon categories regardless of calcium content.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 36.1%

If chemically processed or mixed with other additives for specific foundry use

Heavily processed alloys or prepared mixtures may classify as chemical preparations rather than basic ferroalloys.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificates verifying silicon (>55%), calcium (>3%), and other elemental composition to avoid reclassification

Ensure proper hazardous material declarations as ferrosilicon can generate flammable hydrogen gas when wet; comply with IMDG/49 CFR shipping regulations
