Overview
This HTS category, 7202.60.00.00, specifically covers ferronickel. Ferronickel is an alloy of iron and nickel, produced by smelting nickel-containing ores with iron sources. It is primarily used as a raw material in the production of stainless steel and other nickel alloys, contributing essential properties like corrosion resistance and strength.
Ferronickel is distinguished from other ferroalloys in Chapter 72 by its predominant nickel content. While siblings like ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, and ferrochromium are defined by their primary alloying elements of manganese, silicon, and chromium respectively, ferronickel's defining characteristic is the presence of nickel in a significant proportion relative to iron. This distinct elemental composition dictates its specific industrial applications.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under 7202.60.00.00. Therefore, the classification is specific to ferronickel itself, and its precise tariff treatment is determined by this unique designation, without further subdivision based on specific grades or forms within this code.
