Standard Ferrosilicon Manganese FeSiMn65Si17 from Canada
Ferrosilicon manganese with approximately 65% manganese, 17% silicon, and balance iron, produced by reducing a mixture of manganese ore, quartz, and iron in an electric arc furnace. This alloy falls under HTS 7202.30.00.00 as it is specifically classified as ferrosilicon manganese, a ferroalloy used primarily as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in steel production to improve strength and castability.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition via mill certificates to confirm it meets ferrosilicon manganese specs (typically 60-75% Mn, 12-25% Si) and avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper documentation including country of origin, as antidumping duties may apply to imports from certain countries like China or India
• Store in dry conditions to prevent moisture absorption which can cause oxidation; no duty allowance for pre-entry rust per Chapter 72 notes
