U.S. imports of ferroalloys, not elsewhere specified (HS 720299) totaled $6.1M in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataChina dominates US supply of miscellaneous ferroalloys under this heading, with Brazil and Argentina also significant sources — a concentration that makes Section 301 exposure a live concern for procurement teams. The heading captures specialty iron-based master alloys not classified elsewhere, including ferrozirconium (7202991000), calcium silicon (7202992000), and ferrophosphorus (7202995020/7202998020), each serving distinct metallurgical functions in steelmaking and foundry applications. Importers should note that the residual lines (7202995040 and 7202998040) require careful classification to confirm no more-specific subheading applies, as misclassification risk is elevated for novel or blended alloy compositions.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification hinges on whether the alloy is explicitly named in headings 7202.10 through 7202.93. If the alloy does not match any named subheading — such as ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, or ferrochromium — it falls into the residual 720299 basket. Consulting a licensed customs broker and reviewing the relevant chapter notes is advisable for novel or blended compositions.
Imports from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, and certain lines could also be reviewed under Section 232 steel-related measures depending on end-use classification. Importers should verify current remedy applicability with CBP or a licensed customs broker before entry.
