Ferrovanadium Alloy
Ferrovanadium is an iron-vanadium alloy containing less than 99% vanadium by weight, used primarily as an additive in steel production to enhance strength and toughness. It falls under HTS 8112.99.2000 as vanadium classified in 'other' articles of these base metals, excluding pure vanadium or waste/scrap. This alloy meets Chapter 81 definitions for vanadium alloys where vanadium is the predominant base metal.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing >99% vanadium or classified primarily as ferrosilicon-vanadium
Ferroalloys with specific compositions may shift to Chapter 72 heading for iron and steel additives.
If in waste or scrap form
Vanadium-bearing waste/scrap from manufacturing falls under separate subheading for recyclables.
If in salts or inorganic compounds form
Vanadium compounds like vanadates are classified in Chapter 28 for inorganic chemicals, not metals.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify alloy composition via certified assay reports to confirm vanadium content <99% but highest among metals, avoiding misclassification as pure vanadium
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) for hazardous handling; ensure compliance with TSCA for chemical substances
