Overview

Category 7202 encompasses ferroalloys, which are essential intermediate products in the iron and steel industry. These are alloys primarily composed of iron and one or more other elements, such as manganese, silicon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or tungsten. Ferroalloys are not intended for direct use as finished goods but are crucial additives used to impart specific properties, like strength, hardness, or corrosion resistance, to molten iron and steel during their production. Their classification under Chapter 72 signifies their direct relationship to the iron and steel sector.

Distinguishing 7202 from its sibling categories, which cover a wide range of products from live animals to various manufactured goods, is straightforward. While siblings may represent raw materials or finished products in entirely different sectors, 7202 specifically identifies a group of iron-based alloys used as metallurgical additions. This category is fundamentally distinct from, for example, unwrought iron or steel (7206) or bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel (7213), as ferroalloys are precursors and not directly the final iron or steel product itself.

The subcategories within 7202 provide for the specific types of ferroalloys based on their principal alloying element. These subdivisions allow for precise classification of ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, ferrochromium, ferronickel, ferromolybdenum, and ferrotungsten alloys, as well as combinations like ferrosilicon manganese and ferrosilicon chromium. Further detail may be found within these headings, often based on the percentage of the alloying element, which is a critical factor in determining the specific HTS subheadings for import and export purposes. The residual category, "Other," captures any ferroalloys not explicitly listed.
