Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low-carbon fines production
Carbon threshold determines subheading even for fines form.
If high slag/dust content >40%
Excessive non-metallic content classifies as ferroalloy slag.
If predominantly chromium carbide
Carbide-focused material moves to carbides heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use anti-dust bags for fines to prevent respirable silica exposure and meet OSHA import standards
• Document sieve analysis showing <10mm size to confirm fines vs lumps classification
