Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8545.11.00Same rate: 35%

If specifically for silicon/ferrosilicon production

Large electrodes designed exclusively for silicon smelting have dedicated metallurgical classification.

7309.00.00Same rate: 35%

If imported with extensive steel suspension assemblies

Electrodes where steel overhead crane assemblies predominate classify under steel tanks and reservoirs.

2617.90.00Same rate: 35%

If primarily ore/agglomerate preparation components

Graphite used mainly in ore pretreatment before electrowinning classifies with metallurgical residues.
