Chapter 2617 — Customs Tariff Headings
Products classified under Tariff item 26.17
Antimony Concentrate from Bolivian Mines
High-grade antimony concentrate produced from Bolivian stibnite deposits, with antimony content typically 50-60% after flotation processing. This concentrate remains in an unrefined mineral state, not yet subjected to smelting or other metallurgical processes, and is therefore classified as an antimony ore concentrate under tariff item 2617.10.00.
2617.10.00Antimony-Gold Bearing Concentrate
Flotation concentrate from deposits containing both antimony and byproduct gold, with antimony as the primary metal value. Since antimony is the chief value and the product is an ore concentrate, it falls under tariff item 2617.10.00, not under precious metal ores.
2617.10.00High-Grade Chinese Antimony Concentrate
Premium antimony concentrate exceeding 60% antimony content, produced from Chinese stibnite mines via flotation. This unrefined concentrate is used globally as feedstock for antimony metal and trioxide production, and qualifies under tariff item 2617.10.00 as an antimony ore concentrate.
2617.10.00Jamesonite Antimony-Lead Ore
Jamesonite (Pb4FeSb6S14) is a sulfosalt mineral ore containing both antimony and lead, mined as a primary antimony source in some deposits. When antimony is the chief value, this ore qualifies under tariff item 2617.10.00, distinct from lead ores.
2617.10.00Kermesite Antimony Oxide Ore
Kermesite (Sb2S2O) is a rare antimony ore mineral formed through oxidation of stibnite, containing antimony in both oxide and sulfide forms. As a natural antimony ore suitable for metallurgical extraction, it falls under tariff item 2617.10.00.
2617.10.00Stibnite Ore
Stibnite is the primary mineral ore of antimony, consisting mainly of antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3), typically appearing as steel-gray crystals. Mined directly from natural deposits, it falls under tariff item 2617.10.00 as an antimony ore.
2617.10.00Tetrahedrite Antimony-Copper Ore Concentrate
Tetrahedrite ((Cu,Fe)12Sb4S13) ore concentrate where antimony contributes significant value alongside copper, processed via selective flotation. When antimony is the chief value, this concentrate is classified under tariff item 2617.10.00, not under copper ores.
2617.90.00Bertrandite Ore Concentrate
Bertrandite ore concentrate, a primary beryllium-bearing silicate mineral, concentrated to increase beryllium oxide content for industrial extraction. This concentrate is used for beryllium metallurgy and falls under tariff item 2617.90.00 as an 'other' ore concentrate.
2617.90.00Beryllium Ore Concentrate (Bertrandite)
Beryllium ore concentrate from bertrandite, a silicate mineral, containing 0.5-1% beryllium oxide. This concentrate is used in metallurgical extraction of beryllium and falls under tariff item 2617.90.00 as an 'other' ore concentrate not elsewhere specified.
2617.90.00Brazilian Beryl Concentrate (10% BeO)

2617.90.00Helvite-Dreierkobalt Beryllium Ore
Helvite-group minerals containing beryllium, sulfides, and iron, concentrated for selective beryllium extraction. This concentrate is used in specialty metallurgy and falls under tariff item 2617.90.00 as an 'other' ore concentrate.
2617.90.00Lithium Ore Concentrate (Spodumene)
Spodumene concentrate, a lithium-bearing silicate ore, grading 6% Li2O from pegmatite deposits. This concentrate is used for lithium extraction in metallurgical processes and is classified under tariff item 2617.90.00 as an 'other' ore concentrate.
2617.90.00Manganese Ore Concentrate
Manganese ore concentrate with over 30% manganese content, extracted from sedimentary deposits and used primarily in steel production. This concentrate is classified under tariff item 2617.90.00 as an 'other' ore concentrate, as manganese ores are not specifically listed elsewhere in Chapter 26.
2617.90.00Molybdenum Ore Concentrate
Molybdenum ore concentrate from molybdenite, produced by flotation with approximately 50% molybdenum disulfide content. This concentrate is used for molybdenum extraction in metallurgy and falls under tariff item 2617.90.00 as an 'other' ore concentrate.
