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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in pig or lump form before granulation
Spiegeleisen pigs/lumps classified under 7202; granulation moves to 7205.
If powdered for alloy addition
Powdered spiegeleisen used similarly but separated by particle size in 7205 subheadings.
If high alloy content meeting tool steel definitions
Certain spiegeleisen compositions qualify as tool steel under note (e), shifting to alloy steel headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify manganese content (typically 15-30%) via lab analysis to confirm spiegeleisen status
• Avoid packaging that implies further working, like oiled surfaces, to stay in 7205
• Declare as granules only if >80% pass 8mm sieve but retain on 2mm for CBP verification

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.
