Calcium Silicon 30/65 Ferroalloy
Calcium silicon 30/65 is a ferroalloy containing approximately 30% calcium and 65% silicon, used primarily as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer in steel production. It falls under HTS 7202.99.20.00 as a specific type of calcium silicon ferroalloy not elsewhere specified in heading 7202. This master alloy helps control non-metallic inclusions in molten steel.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy composition falls outside standard calcium silicon ranges
Products not specifically enumerated as calcium silicon are classified as other ferroalloys in subheading 7202.99.80.
If imported as a prepared additive mixture with binders or fluxes
Chemical preparations containing ferroalloys for foundry use fall under Chapter 38 rather than Chapter 72.
If containing substantial rare earth elements like cerium
Calcium silicon cored wires or mischmetal variants are classified as carbides or similar compounds in heading 2849.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying calcium (28-32%) and silicon (62-68%) content to confirm classification under 7202.99.20.00
• Ensure proper hazardous material documentation as calcium silicon can react with moisture; common pitfall is inadequate UN packaging certification
• Declare exact alloy composition on entry to avoid reclassification to general ferroalloys under 7202.99.80
