U.S. imports of ferrosilicon chromium (HS 720250) totaled $627K in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Ferrosilicon Chromium imports of $627K in July 2026 ran 66% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.9M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFerrosilicon chromium combines chromium and silicon in an iron matrix, serving as a specialized alloying addition in the production of certain stainless and heat-resistant steels where simultaneous silicon and chromium additions are metallurgically advantageous. Entering under a single tariff line (7202500000), it is a narrower-volume ferroalloy compared to standard ferrochromium grades. Kazakhstan is the dominant US import source for this product, reflecting its established ferroalloy smelting infrastructure built around chromite ore. As with other Chapter 72 ferroalloys, Section 232 applicability should be confirmed prior to importation.

The key distinction is the intentional presence of significant silicon content alongside chromium, which places the product under HTS 720250 rather than the ferrochromium subheadings under 720241 or 720249. A certified chemical analysis showing the silicon, chromium, and iron percentages is the primary document used to support classification.
Ferrosilicon chromium is used when a melt shop needs to add both chromium and silicon simultaneously to control oxidation and achieve target alloy chemistry in a single charge, which can simplify ladle metallurgy operations. It is particularly relevant in certain heat-resistant and stainless steel grades where both elements are required in moderate quantities.
