GrafTech High-Purity Graphite Furnace Electrode from Japan
High-purity graphite electrodes designed specifically for electric arc furnaces (EAF) used in steel production. These electrodes carry high electrical current to generate arc heat for melting scrap metal, featuring diameters from 300-700mm and ultra-high power (UHP) grades. Classified under HTS 8545.11.00 as carbon electrodes of a kind used for furnaces.

Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specifications confirming furnace/electrode application and electrical resistance values under 5.5 μΩ·m
• Include end-user declarations specifying electric arc furnace (EAF) or ladle furnace (LF) usage to avoid reclassification
• Ensure pin/nipple compatibility documentation; common pitfall is classifying pre-assembled electrode columns under parts headings
