On September 28, 2026, China's ferro silicon export market showed relatively stable price quotations. The market reference recorded FeSi72 at USD 1,200–1,220/MT and FeSi75 at USD 1,250–1,270/MT, both on an FOB Tianjin Port basis.
For overseas buyers, these figures provide a dated reference for the China ferro silicon price in the export market. They are historical market indications rather than live or binding offers. Actual transaction prices depend on the required grade, chemical composition, particle size, order quantity, packaging and shipment conditions.
China Ferro Silicon Export Price Reference
| Product | Grade | Export Price | Reference Date | Delivery Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferro Silicon | FeSi72 | USD 1,200–1,220/MT | September 28, 2026 | FOB Tianjin Port |
| Ferro Silicon | FeSi75 | USD 1,250–1,270/MT | September 28, 2026 | FOB Tianjin Port |
On this reference date, the quoted price range for FeSi75 was approximately USD 50/MT higher than that for FeSi72 at both the lower and upper ends. This difference reflects the quotations recorded for these two grades on that date; it should not be treated as a fixed market premium.
All figures above are quoted in USD per metric ton on an FOB Tianjin Port basis. They should not be directly compared with domestic Chinese ferro silicon prices quoted in RMB/MT or CIF destination prices without adjusting for currency exchange, freight, insurance and delivery terms. Domestic market quotations may use different tax and delivery bases, which should also be checked before making a price comparison.

FeSi72 Export Price
On September 28, 2026, the China FeSi72 export price reference was approximately USD 1,200–1,220 per metric ton FOB Tianjin Port.
FeSi72 is selected for steelmaking deoxidation and silicon adjustment when its chemical composition meets the target steel specification. Its purchasing cost should be evaluated alongside actual silicon content, aluminum and other impurity limits, rather than by the grade designation alone.
For a comparable FeSi72 quotation, buyers should confirm the required Si content, maximum Al, Ca, P and S levels, particle size, acceptable fines percentage, order quantity and packaging method. Customized chemical limits and narrow particle-size ranges should be agreed before the supplier confirms the final offer.
FeSi75 Export Price
The China FeSi75 export price reference on September 28, 2026, was approximately USD 1,250–1,270 per metric ton FOB Tianjin Port.
Compared with FeSi72, FeSi75 contains a higher minimum silicon content. It is selected when the steelmaking or foundry specification requires a higher silicon grade or when the required silicon addition needs to be achieved with a lower mass of alloy.
However, a higher silicon grade does not automatically guarantee a better purchasing result. Buyers should also compare aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and carbon limits, particle-size distribution, inspection requirements and batch-specific COA before evaluating supplier quotations.

What Affects the Final China Ferro Silicon Export Quotation?
The published market price provides a reference for a specified grade and delivery basis. However, two buyers requesting the same FeSi72 or FeSi75 grade may receive different quotations because their chemical limits, particle sizes, order quantities and shipment requirements are not identical.
The final ferro silicon export price can be affected by the following purchasing conditions:
- Ferro silicon grade: FeSi72 and FeSi75 have different minimum silicon contents. The selected grade affects the amount of alloy required for a specified silicon addition.
- Chemical composition: Aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and carbon limits affect product selection. Tighter impurity requirements should be specified before production and quotation.
- Particle size: Standard lumps, granules, powder and customized sizes involve different crushing, screening and handling requirements. The required size distribution should be agreed in advance.
- Order quantity: Order volume, loading arrangements and shipment frequency can affect the final commercial quotation.
- Packing: Jumbo bags, smaller bags and customized export packaging have different material and handling costs.
- Inspection: Batch-specific COA, additional testing and third-party inspection requirements should be confirmed before an order is finalized.
- Delivery terms: FOB, CFR and CIF quotations include different transportation and cost responsibilities. The destination port and agreed Incoterms version should be clearly stated.

Q: What was the FeSi72 export price on September 28, 2026?
A: The historical China export price reference for FeSi72 was approximately USD 1,200–1,220/MT on an FOB Tianjin Port basis on September 28, 2026. This is a dated market reference rather than a current binding offer.
Q: What was the FeSi75 export price on September 28, 2026?
A: The historical China export price reference for FeSi75 was approximately USD 1,250–1,270/MT FOB Tianjin Port on September 28, 2026. Buyers should request an updated quotation for current purchasing decisions.
Q: Why was FeSi75 more expensive than FeSi72?
A: FeSi75 has a higher minimum silicon content than FeSi72. On September 28, 2026, its quoted export price range was USD 50/MT higher at both ends of the reference range. The actual price difference also depends on chemical composition, particle size, order quantity and market conditions.
Q: Does the FOB Tianjin price include ocean freight?
A: No. Under FOB Tianjin Port, the seller delivers the goods on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the named port of shipment and completes export clearance. The buyer normally arranges the main ocean freight and any desired cargo insurance. The specific responsibilities follow the agreed Incoterms version and sales contract.
