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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If particle size ≤0.8mm qualifying as powder
Statistical breakout separates granules from powders based on size in heading 7205.
If supplied in ingot or primary form, not granulated
Non-granular ferrous products like ingots remain in 7204; granulation process changes classification.
If coated with flux for welding applications
Flux-cored or coated granules for welding classified as welding preparations in Chapter 83.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit sieve analysis reports confirming granule size >0.8mm to prevent misclassification as powder
• Include chemical analysis certificates showing carbon content under high-strength steel thresholds to avoid special notes
• Check for 'further worked' surface treatments like coatings, which would shift to 7213+ headings
