SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of ferrosilicon chromium (SITC 67154) totaled $448K in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Importers of Ferrosilicon Chromium paid $43K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $426K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Ferrosilicon Chromium imports of $448K in April 2026 ran 71% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.5M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFerrosilicon chromium is a ternary ferroalloy containing iron, silicon, and chromium, used primarily as an intermediate in the production of low-carbon ferrochromium through the silicothermic reduction process rather than as a direct steelmaking addition. Its relatively narrow application niche — principally as a process intermediate in ferrochromium refining — distinguishes it from the broader ferrochromium and ferrosilicon markets. Importers should ensure that the silicon and chromium content declared on mill certificates clearly places the material within this heading rather than straight ferrochromium or ferrosilicon.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ferrosilicon chromium is used mainly as a reducing agent in the silicothermic production of low-carbon ferrochromium, where its silicon content drives the decarburization reaction. Unlike standard ferrochromium, it is rarely added directly to a steel heat; instead, it is an intermediate product consumed within the ferroalloy production chain. This process role means it is traded in smaller volumes and among a narrower set of counterparties than commodity ferrochromium.
The main risk is misclassification as either ferrochromium (67153) or ferrosilicon (67151), both of which may carry different duty rates or trade-remedy exposure. The ternary composition — with meaningful silicon and chromium content alongside iron — must be clearly documented in the mill certificate. Importers should obtain a binding ruling from CBP if the composition is near a boundary, and consult a licensed customs broker experienced in ferroalloy classifications.
