Import Tips & Compliance

Provide purity certificates (>99% Fe) to distinguish from ferroalloys

Ensure no phosphatizing or other chemical treatments per 'further worked' note

Use ventilated containers to prevent rust, as no duty allowance per chapter note

Spiegeleisen Granules

Granules of spiegeleisen, a high-manganese pig iron alloy used in steelmaking to add manganese content. Produced by crushing cast spiegeleisen into 2-8mm granules. HTS 7205.10.00.00 covers granules of spiegeleisen explicitly in the heading.

Low-Carbon Steel Granules

Granules of low-carbon steel (<0.25% C), sized 2-6mm, for remelting and alloying in secondary steel production. HTS 7205.10.00.00 applies to steel granules not meeting high-strength or tool steel definitions. Common in electric arc furnace feeds.

Atomized Iron Granules 4-8mm

Water-atomized iron granules 4-8mm for heavy media separation in mineral processing. Pure iron composition, classified under HTS 7205.10.00.00 as iron granules. Recyclable and high-density for density-based sorting.

Ferrous Alloy Granules

Granules of ferrous alloys not meeting tool steel specs, 1-4mm, for specialty steel production. HTS 7205.10.00.00 covers such steel granules per heading scope. Used in nitriding and surface hardening processes.

Pig Iron Granules

Granules of pig iron, typically produced by atomization or crushing, used as a raw material in metal casting and steelmaking. Classified under HTS 7205.10.00.00 as granules of pig iron, distinct from powders due to larger particle size. Meets chapter definitions for pig iron products in granular form.

Steel Granules 1-5mm

Granular steel particles sized 1-5mm, made from low-carbon steel scrap via granulation for use in powder metallurgy and sintering. Falls under HTS 7205.10.00.00 as granules of steel, not further worked per chapter notes. Commonly used in automotive part manufacturing.
