Low-Carbon Ferromolybdenum FeMo65-C
Low-carbon variant of ferromolybdenum with 65% minimum molybdenum content and carbon under 0.1%, designed for producing clean, high-quality tool steels. Falls under HTS 7202.70.00.00 as all ferromolybdenum grades regardless of carbon levels are grouped here. Lumps are produced via vacuum arc reduction for minimal impurities.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as ferrosilicon-molybdenum hybrid
Ferroalloys with significant silicon content (>10%) may fall under ferrosilicon headings rather than pure ferromolybdenum.
If supplied as pre-alloyed powder mix
Prepared metal powders or pastes for foundry use are chemical preparations, not raw ferroalloys.
If other ferroalloy like ferrovanadium-molybdenum mix
Ferroalloys not specifically enumerated (ferromolybdenum) go to the residual 7202.99 category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Request certificates showing carbon below 0.1% and aluminum/silicon residuals to distinguish from standard grades
• Use proper packaging (steel drums or bulk bags) to prevent oxidation during transit
• Confirm no Section 232 tariffs apply based on steel content thresholds
