Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8105.30.00Higher: 25% vs 15%

If niobium as unwrought metal or powder

Elemental niobium excludes iron alloys, classifying under Chapter 81 other base metals.

7202.99.10Higher: 39.2% vs 15%

If containing specific rare earth elements

Ferroalloys with rare-earths like cerium have separate subheading 7202.99.10.

7213.91.30Higher: 35% vs 15%

If rolled into bars for circular cross-section

When further worked into alloy steel bars, moves from raw ferroalloy to Chapter 72 finished shapes.
