Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If <2% magnesium and low aluminum
Standard ferrosilicon with minimal alloying elements uses the low-aluminum subheading.
If in roasted/calcined form
Processed manganese ores including ferroalloy precursors classify under Chapter 26.
If sold as foundry chemical additive
Mixtures for foundry use beyond pure ferroalloys go to chemical mixtures heading.
