1. The standard HS code for ferrovanadium
The internationally recognized HS code for ferrovanadium is:
HS Code: 7202.92
This classification applies to ferrovanadium of all common grades, including:
FeV40
FeV50
FeV60
FeV80
The code is used worldwide for customs clearance, freight documentation, and tax calculations.
2. What does HS 7202.92 represent?
HS 7202.92 falls under the broader category:
Chapter 72 – Iron and steel
Heading 7202 – Ferroalloys
Subheading 7202.92 – Ferrovanadium
This subheading specifically covers vanadium-bearing ferroalloys used as strengthening agents in steelmaking.
3. Do different countries use different codes?
Most countries follow the same HS-6 digit system, so 7202.92 is widely accepted globally.
However:
Some countries add additional digits (HS-8 or HS-10) for internal classification.
Duties and tax rates vary by region, even if the HS code stays the same.
Shipping agents often request the full version used in your importing country.
For example:
U.S. Schedule B may add extra digits.
EU TARIC codes extend beyond six digits.
China Customs uses 7202920000.
But the core HS identification remains 7202.92.
4. When is this HS code required?
You will need the HS code for:
commercial invoices
packing lists
bill of lading / airway bill
customs declaration
tariff and duty assessment
certificate of origin (COO)
L/C and financial documents
Using the correct HS code ensures smooth customs clearance and avoids delays or reclassification issues.
5. Does the HS code depend on the V content?
No-FeV40, FeV50, FeV60, and FeV80 all fall under 7202.92.
Customs does not assign different HS codes based on vanadium percentage as long as the product meets the definition of ferrovanadium.
