Nitrided Ferrochromium 68% Cr
Nitrogen-bearing ferrochromium with 68% Cr, up to 0.2% N, and moderate carbon, used for nitrogen-alloyed stainless steels. Falls under HTS 7202.49.50 as other ferrochromium; nitrogen content doesn't alter base ferroalloy classification. Improves steel strength and corrosion resistance.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If simultaneously low-carbon <0.5% C
Carbon content takes precedence over nitrogen additions for low-carbon subheading.
If primarily carbide form
Ferrochromium carbide classified as carbides of Chapter 28, not ferroalloys.
If fluxed with fluorspar or other chemicals
Chemical preparations exceed pure ferroalloy definition.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document nitrogen analysis method (e.g
• inert gas fusion) as CBP may verify special alloy claims
• Check for country-specific quotas; nitrided grades often from India or Zimbabwe
• Avoid bulk bagging without liners—moisture absorption affects nitrogen stability
