Ferrovanadium Lumps from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
