720291
Ferro-alloys; ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium
Heading 7202 — Ferro-alloys
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 720291 when importing or exporting ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium, which are important additives in steel production. For instance, a shipment of ferro-titanium in 1-ton bags for use in alloy steel manufacturing falls under this code.
This code is specifically for ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium, which differ from other ferro-alloys like ferro-silicon (HS-6 720292). While both are used to enhance steel properties, ferro-silicon primarily adds silicon, whereas ferro-titanium adds titanium to improve strength and corrosion resistance.
Ferro-titanium is often used in aerospace and automotive applications due to its lightweight and strength, while ferro-silico-titanium is utilized for deoxidizing steel. Understanding the distinction between these ferro-alloys is crucial for proper classification and compliance.
When dealing with ferro-alloys, ensure you have the correct specifications and purity levels, as these can affect classification. For example, if your product contains over 20% titanium, it clearly fits under this HS-6 line.
