U.S. imports of low-carbon ferromanganese (2% or less carbon) (HS 720219) totaled $12.9M in July 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Low-Carbon Ferromanganese (2% or Less Carbon) paid $212K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 1.7% on $12.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRefined by additional processing to reduce carbon below 2%, low-carbon ferromanganese commands a premium over the high-carbon grade and is used where carbon pickup in the final steel must be minimized — notably in stainless, electrical, and high-strength low-alloy steels. The US schedule distinguishes material at or below 1% carbon (7202191000) from the 1–2% range (7202195000), with a catch-all line (7202190000) also present. Norway and India are the top suppliers, with South Africa, Japan, and Mexico rounding out the source mix.

A producer's mill certificate or independent laboratory analysis specifying carbon content by weight percentage is the standard supporting document. CBP may request this at entry or during a post-entry audit; the certificate should identify the heat or lot number and be retained with the import records for at least five years.
Filing without adequate documentation creates classification risk. If the carbon content cannot be confirmed, the importer may need to file a preliminary entry and obtain laboratory analysis before liquidation, or risk CBP reclassifying the shipment — potentially into a line with different duty exposure or AD/CVD applicability. Consulting a licensed customs broker before shipment is advisable.
