FeSiMn Briquettes 50kg for Foundries from China
Ferrosilicon manganese compressed into 50kg briquettes for easier handling in small foundries, composition 65% Mn / 17% Si. Still classified as ferrosilicon manganese under HTS 7202.30.00.00 since briquetting is physical forming, not chemical 'further working' per Chapter notes.

Import Tips
• Briquettes must contain >90% alloy; verify binder content doesn't trigger chemical treatment reclassification
• Steel-strapped palletizing recommended; loose briquettes prone to breakage increasing dust hazard
• Customs may require XRF analysis for briquette homogeneity if composition uniformity questioned
