Graphite Ingot Molds for Aluminum Casting from Germany
High-purity graphite molds used in aluminum foundries to cast ingots from molten metal, offering excellent thermal resistance and non-wetting properties. These are precision-machined for specific ingot shapes in secondary aluminum production. Falls under HTS 8454.20.00 due to their role as ingot molds in metal foundries.

Import Tips
• Include foundry usage affidavits to distinguish from general graphite products under Chapter 68
• Ensure heat resistance specs are documented, as lower-grade graphite may classify elsewhere
• Comply with REACH or EPA regs for graphite impurities if destined for U.S. aluminum smelters
