U.S. imports of high-carbon ferromanganese (over 2% carbon) (HS 720211) totaled $19.0M in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHigh-carbon ferromanganese — the workhorse deoxidizer and manganese-addition agent for carbon and alloy steelmaking — is defined by carbon content exceeding 2% by weight, with the US schedule further splitting at the 4% carbon threshold between lines 7202110000 and 7202115000. Malaysia and India are the leading suppliers, with South Africa, Australia, and Norway also significant sources reflecting the global distribution of manganese ore reserves. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically targeted ferromanganese from certain origins, so importers should verify current AD/CVD scope rulings before entry.

The split at 4% carbon (lines 7202110000 vs. 7202115000) reflects differences in steelmaking application and pricing: material above 4% carbon is the standard blast-furnace grade used in bulk steel refining, while the 2–4% range represents an intermediate grade with somewhat different metallurgical properties. The distinction also aligns with international trade statistics conventions, allowing more precise monitoring of trade flows.
Importers should search the USITC and Commerce Department's AD/CVD order database by HTS code and country of origin before filing entry. Scope rulings can be narrow or broad, and the same physical product from different origins may carry very different duty exposure. A licensed customs broker or trade attorney can assist with scope analysis and, if needed, a formal scope ruling request.
