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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If irregular scrap pieces, not uniform granules
Ferrous scrap classification depends on form; uniform granules are 7205.
If bars/rod cut into uniform granules with circular cross-section
Granules from worked bars/rods become 'further worked' products.
If alloy steel meeting tool steel note (e)
Tool steel compositions shift to appropriate alloy headings regardless of form.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Test certificates must confirm not high-strength steel per note (a) minimum yield specs
• Separate from scrap (7204) by proving granulation process and uniform sizing
• Declare bulk density and flowability data for proper customs valuation
