Import Tips & Compliance
• South Africa origin typically AD-free; confirm via DOC scope rulings
• Large tonnages (50,000+ MT/year); plan warehouse space near steel mills
• Chrome content variation <1.5% typical—verify consistency per heat

High-Carbon Ferrochromium 65C
High-carbon ferrochromium containing approximately 65% chromium and 6-8% carbon, used primarily as an alloying additive in stainless steel production. It falls under HTS 7202.49.50 as ferrochromium that is neither low-carbon (under 0.5% C) nor charge chrome (over 55% Cr and 4-10% C). This granular or lump form alloy meets the 'other' specification in the ferrochromium subheading.
Medium-Carbon Ferrochrome 60-70% Cr
Ferrochromium alloy with 60-70% chromium and 1-4% carbon, supplied in lumps for metallurgical applications like specialty steel alloys. Classified under HTS 7202.49.50 as 'other' ferrochromium, excluding low-carbon and charge varieties. It provides chromium addition without excessive carbon pickup in melting processes.
Ferrochromium Lumps 65-70% Cr 6-8% C
Lump-form high-carbon ferrochromium with 65-70% Cr and 6-8% C, sized 10-100mm for furnace charging in stainless steelmaking. This product is specifically 'other' ferrochromium under HTS 7202.49.50, not qualifying as low-carbon or charge grade. Standard metallurgical grade for AOD/VOD refining processes.
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.
Extra High-Carbon Ferrochrome 70% Cr
Premium ferrochromium with 70% minimum chromium and extra-high carbon (8-10%), for high-chromium white iron castings. HTS 7202.49.50 'other' category captures this grade excluded from charge or low-carbon specs. Delivers maximum chromium recovery in foundry applications.
Ferrochromium Granules 3-10mm 64% Cr
Crushed and screened ferrochromium granules sized 3-10mm with 64% Cr and 7% C, optimized for ladle additions. Under HTS 7202.49.50 as other ferrochromium in granular form, not further worked beyond crushing. Ensures rapid dissolution in secondary steelmaking.
