Ferrovanadium Lumps
Ferrovanadium lumps are an alloy primarily composed of iron and vanadium, containing less than 99% vanadium by weight, used as a key additive in steel production to enhance strength and toughness. Classified under HTS 8112.92.70.00 as unwrought vanadium in alloy form, distinct from pure vanadium or vanadium-bearing ores. This product is typically supplied in irregular lump shapes for metallurgical applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If marketed primarily as iron alloy for steel production
Ferrovanadium over 30% vanadium classified under Chapter 72 as ferroalloys, not Chapter 81 base metal alloys.
If in raw ore or concentrate form
Vanadium ores and concentrates fall under Chapter 26 for mineral products, before refinement into unwrought metal.
If containing over 99% pure vanadium
Pure vanadium (not alloyed) uses subheading 8112.92.10, while alloys shift to 8112.92.70.00 per Chapter 81 notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition via certified assay reports to confirm vanadium content under 99% and classify correctly under Chapter 81 alloys
• Obtain end-use certificates if importing for steel production to qualify for potential duty exemptions or preferential treatments
• Avoid misclassification as vanadium ores (2617.90) by ensuring product is refined unwrought metal, not raw mineral
