Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If maximum silicon content does not exceed 75%
The 7202.21 subheading specifically covers ferrosilicon up to 75% silicon, taking precedence over the 'other' category.
If chemically pure silicon >99%
Pure silicon carbide or elemental silicon is classified in Chapter 28 as inorganic chemicals, not ferroalloys.
