About ferro-alloys; n.e.c. in heading no. 7202

HS code 720299 covers a broad range of ferro-alloys that are not specifically classified elsewhere in the HS code system. Ferro-alloys are essential materials used in the production of various types of steel and other metal alloys. They play a crucial role in enhancing the properties of these materials, such as strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. The ferro-alloys industry is a vital component of the global metals and mining sector, supporting a wide range of downstream industries, including construction, automotive, and machinery manufacturing.

Production process

The production of ferro-alloys under HS code 720299 typically involves the smelting of iron ore, carbon, and other alloying elements in an electric arc furnace or a blast furnace. The specific production techniques can vary depending on the type of ferro-alloy being produced, but the general process involves the careful control of temperature, pressure, and the addition of specific elements to achieve the desired chemical composition and physical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ferro-alloys under HS code 720299 include iron ore, carbon sources (such as coal, coke, or charcoal), and various alloying elements (such as chromium, manganese, silicon, or vanadium). Additionally, the production process requires specialized equipment, such as electric arc furnaces or blast furnaces, as well as energy sources (electricity or natural gas) to power the smelting operations.

Production outputs

The ferro-alloys produced under HS code 720299 are used as inputs in the production of various types of steel and other metal alloys. These ferro-alloys can be consumed by industries such as 720110 Iron and non-alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms, 720211 Ferro-manganese, containing by weight more than 2% of carbon, and 720221 Ferro-silicon, containing by weight more than 55% of silicon.
