Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8111.00.49Same rate: 14%

If >99% but <99.5% purity

Slightly lower purity threshold moves it to adjacent powder subheading with potentially different rates.

2602.00.00Higher: 25% vs 14%

If unrefined manganiferous ore

Raw ore with <99.5% manganese content is Chapter 26 mineral product, not refined metal.

7202.99.80Higher: 15% vs 14%

If alloyed into ferromanganese fines

Processed into iron-manganese alloys for steelmaking enters Chapter 72 as ferroalloys.
