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

HS code 720299 covers a diverse range of ferro-alloys that are not specifically classified elsewhere in the HS code 7202. These ferro-alloys play a crucial role in the production of various steel and iron products, serving as essential additives that enhance the properties and performance of the final materials. As a key component in the broader metal manufacturing industry, the ferro-alloys under this code contribute significantly to the global economy, supporting a wide range of downstream applications across numerous sectors.

Production process

The production of ferro-alloys under HS code 720299 typically involves the smelting of iron ore, various metal ores, and other raw materials in electric or blast furnaces. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the desired composition and properties of the final ferro-alloy product. This process often includes the careful control of temperature, pressure, and the addition of specific elements to achieve the desired chemical and physical characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ferro-alloys under HS code 720299 include iron ore, various metal ores (such as chromium, manganese, or silicon ores), and other raw materials like coal, coke, or limestone. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as electric or blast furnaces, as well as skilled labor, are essential for the efficient and effective production of these ferro-alloy products.

Production outputs

The ferro-alloys produced under HS code 720299 are primarily used as additives in the manufacture of steel and other iron-based products. These ferro-alloys can enhance the strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and other properties of the final metal products. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by industries classified under codes such as 7207 Semifinished products of iron or non-alloy steel, 7208 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, and 7225 Flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, among others.
