7202.21.90.00/Ferrosilicon 95% Silicon Alloy/China

Ferrosilicon 95% Silicon Alloy from China

Ferrosilicon alloy containing 95% silicon by weight, used primarily as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in steel production to remove oxygen and improve steel quality. This product falls under HTS 7202.21.90.00 because it is a ferroalloy with more than 90% silicon content, exceeding the threshold for high-silicon ferrosilicon classifications. It is typically supplied in granular or lump form for metallurgical applications.

Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificates verifying silicon content exceeds 90% by weight to avoid reclassification during customs examination

• Declare particle size and packaging details (e.g

• 1MT jumbo bags) as they impact handling but not tariff classification

• Watch for contamination risks during transit; no duty allowance for rust or discoloration per Chapter 72 notes
