Chromium Metal Powder 99.9% Pure

High-purity chromium metal powder used in powder metallurgy for producing high-strength alloys and coatings. Classified under HTS 8112.29.00.00 as 'other' chromium metal excluding unwrought forms, master alloys, and waste/scrap. It consists of elemental chromium particles less than 99% purity by definition.

Alternative Classifications

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

8112.21.00.00Same rate: 28%

If supplied in unwrought forms like ingots or pigs

Unwrought chromium (blocks, lumps, billets) falls under specific subheading 8112.21, separate from 'other' articles.

3824.99Lower: 17.5% vs 28%

If chemically defined as a master alloy with other base metals

Master alloys containing over 10% chromium are classified in Chapter 38 as prepared binders, not pure metals.

7202.21Lower: 18.3% vs 28%

If for ferro-chromium used in steelmaking

Ferro-chromium alloys are iron-based and classified under Chapter 72 for ferrous alloys.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify purity certificate showing chromium content under 99% by weight to avoid reclassification as unwrought under 8112.21

• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) for hazardous chromium compounds; ensure compliance with EPA import regulations
