Atomized Ferrosilicon 70% Powder from Japan
Atomized Ferrosilicon 70% is produced by gas atomization resulting in spherical powder with 70% silicon content, used in powder metallurgy and welding electrodes. Classified under HTS 7202.21.50.00 as 'other' ferrosilicon (55-80% Si) since it doesn't match granulated subheading specs. Particle size typically 45-150 microns.

Import Tips
• Classify based on production method; atomized powder ≠ crushed fines, provide atomization process documentation
• Inert gas packaging required to prevent oxidation; oxygen content certificates mandatory
