Ferrosilicon 65% Lumpy Form FeSi65 from Germany
Ferrosilicon 65% in lumpy form contains 65% silicon by weight with iron balance, typically sized 10-100mm, used in steelmaking for silicon addition and deoxidation. Classified under HTS 7202.21.50.00 as 'other' ferrosilicon with 55-80% silicon, not fitting standard granulated or specific alloy subcategories. Its irregular lump shape suits electric arc furnace feeding.

Import Tips
• Provide particle size distribution certificates as lumpy form affects handling; ensure lumps exceed 10mm to avoid crushing classification
• Declare exact Si, Fe, Al, Ca content per US Note definitions; impurities over 10% may shift to lower silicon subheadings
• Avoid bulk container contamination from moisture, which causes hydrogen evolution and classification disputes
