PRODUCT DEFINITIONThe goods subject to this inquiry are defined as:

Silicon metal containing at least 96.00% but less than 99.99% silicon by weight, and silicon metal containing between 89.00% and 96.00%silicon by weight that contains aluminum greater than 0.20% by weight, of all forms and sizes, originating in or exported from the FederativeRepublic of Brazil, the Republic of Kazakhstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Kingdom of Norway, and the Kingdom ofThailand.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATIONThe subject goods include all forms and sizes of silicon metal, including off-specification material such as silicon metal with higher thannormal percentages of other elements, such as aluminum, calcium, iron, etc.

Silicon is a chemical element, metallic in appearance, solid in mass, and steel gray in color, that is commonly found in nature in combinationwith oxygen either as silica or in combination with both oxygen and a metal in silicate minerals. Although commonly referred to as metal,silicon exhibits characteristics of both metals and non-metals. Silicon metal is a polycrystalline material whose crystals have a diamond cubicstructure at atmospheric pressure. It is usually sold in lump form typically ranging from 6" x 1⁄2" to 4" x 1⁄4" for the metallurgical industry, 1"by 1" and smaller for the chemical industries and also in crushed powder form.

Silicon metal is principally used by primary and secondary aluminum producers as an alloying agent and by the chemical industry to producea family of chemicals known as silicones.

The goods in question are commonly classified under the Harmonized System classification number 2804.69.00.00.

If your firm did NOT import silicon metal, as described above, from any subject or non-subject country during the period of inquiry (January 1, 2014, to March 31, 2017), please provide only the information requested in the blue "Certification" tab. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND TO THE REST OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE.
