Reduced Iron Powder for Welding Electrodes from Japan
Hydrogen-reduced iron powder serving as flux carrier in coated welding electrodes. Classified under 7205.29.00.00 due to high purity (>99% Fe) and spherical morphology from reduction process. Particle size range: 45-150 microns for optimal coating adhesion.

Import Tips
• Specify hydrogen-reduced vs. carbonyl process to confirm proper powder classification,Provide oxygen content analysis (<0.5% typical) confirming reduced iron status,Avoid 'further worked' classification if basic passivation only, per Chapter 72 note
