65% Chromium Ferrochrome Briquettes

Briquetted ferrochrome containing 65% Cr, 6% C formed by pressing fines for dust control and easier handling. HTS 7202.49.50.90 covers this as 'other ferrochromium' since briquetting doesn't qualify as 'further worked' surface treatment per Chapter notes. Ideal for consistent furnace feed.

Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Briquetting binder must be minimal (<2%) to remain Chapter 72; disclose composition fully

โ€ข Certify not heat-resisting steel (under 0.3% C, 4-10.5% Cr) per alloy definitions

Standard Ferrochrome Lumpy

Standard lumpy ferrochrome (20-150mm) with 60-66% Cr, 6-8% C meeting ASTM standards for stainless EAF charge. Fits HTS 7202.49.50.90 'other' category excluding special low-C or silico types. Lump size minimizes fines generation.

Charge Grade Ferrochrome

Charge grade ferrochrome is a medium-to-high carbon ferroalloy (6-8% C, 60-66% Cr) optimized for electric arc furnace charging in stainless steel melting. Classified under HTS 7202.49.50.90 as unspecified 'other' ferrochromium not meeting low-carbon or silico criteria. It provides chromium recovery without excessive carbon pickup.

FeCr 60% Chromium Lumps

FeCr lumps containing approximately 60% chromium, 6-7% carbon, and balance iron, supplied in 10-100mm lump form for foundry and steel applications. This product fits HTS 7202.49.50.90 as 'other' ferrochromium excluding low-carbon and silico variants. Lumps ensure efficient furnace feeding.

Crushed Ferrochrome 0-10mm

Crushed ferrochrome sized 0-10mm with 64% Cr, 7% C for ladle additions and small furnace operations. HTS 7202.49.50.90 since crushing doesn't constitute Chapter 72 'further worked' surface treatment. Enables precise small-batch alloying.

High-Carbon Ferrochrome

High-carbon ferrochrome is a ferroalloy containing 50-70% chromium and 4-8% carbon, used primarily in stainless steel production. It falls under HTS 7202.49.50.90 as 'other ferrochromium' that is not low-carbon, not silico-ferrochromium, and not containing over 30% chromium by weight. This classification applies to standard grades produced via electric arc furnace smelting.

Medium-Carbon Ferrochrome Fines

Medium-carbon ferrochrome fines (2-4% C, 65% Cr) in powder or crushed form under 10mm, used for precise alloying in specialty steels. Falls under HTS 7202.49.50.90 as non-low-carbon, non-silico 'other ferrochromium.' Fines allow better mixing in ladle metallurgy.
