Refractory-Lined Ingot Ladle
Heavy-duty ladle with alumina refractory lining for transferring molten iron to ingot molds in foundries. Capacity typically 10-50 tons, built for extreme heat resistance in metal casting. HTS 8454.20.00.80 applies to such ladles used solely in metallurgical foundry operations.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refractory lining imported as separate components
Refractory bricks containing >50% alumina are classified in Chapter 69 when not assembled.
If made primarily of stainless steel for general industrial use
Other steel articles not specifically for metallurgy fall under Chapter 73.
If modified for chemical processing plants
Machines for chemical or pharmaceutical industries have separate provisions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit refractory material composition analysis (e.g
• >70% alumina) to support classification
• Avoid common pitfall of importing without end-user declaration specifying foundry metallurgy use
• Budget for potential steel tariffs on structural components based on country of melt and pour
