Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied in unwrought forms like ingots or pigs
Unwrought chromium (blocks, lumps, billets) falls under specific subheading 8112.21, separate from 'other' articles.
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.
If for ferro-chromium used in steelmaking
Ferro-chromium alloys are iron-based and classified under Chapter 72 for ferrous alloys.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify purity certificate showing chromium content under 99% by weight to avoid reclassification as unwrought under 8112.21
ā¢ Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) for hazardous chromium compounds; ensure compliance with EPA import regulations
