Products classified under Tariff item 2601.12
BF Iron Ore Pellets
Blast furnace grade iron ore pellets, agglomerated for use in traditional blast furnace steel production, featuring high ferrous content and uniform sizing around 9-16 mm. These pellets are a classic example of agglomerated iron ore under tariff item 2601.12.00.
2601.12.00Carajás Hematite DR Pellets
High-grade hematite iron ore from Vale's Carajás mine, formed into fluxed DR-grade pellets for direct reduction processes. The agglomeration process binds fine ore particles into uniform spheres, qualifying this product under tariff item 2601.12.00 for agglomerated iron ores.
2601.12.00Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Briquettes (HBI)
Hot briquetted iron (HBI) produced by compressing sponge iron from direct reduction of agglomerated iron ore fines into dense briquettes. Although partially reduced, it remains an agglomerated iron ore product for tariff purposes, as it is not yet classified as iron or steel under Section XV.
2601.12.00Fluxed Iron Ore Pellets
Iron ore pellets with added limestone flux for improved blast furnace performance, still primarily iron ore agglomerates. The addition of flux does not change the classification, and these pellets fall under tariff item 2601.12.00 as agglomerated iron ores.
2601.12.00Fluxed Iron Ore Sinter (15-30 mm)
Fluxed iron ore sinter produced by sintering a mixture of iron ore, limestone, and coke breeze into 15-30 mm lumps for blast furnace charge. The sintering process agglomerates the fine ore, making it classifiable under tariff item 2601.12.00 as agglomerated iron ore.
2601.12.00Goethite Iron Ore Sinter Feed
Agglomerated goethite-rich limonitic iron ores from Pilbara deposits, nodulized for sinter plant feed in integrated steel mills. The nodulization process creates agglomerates, placing this product under tariff item 2601.12.00 for agglomerated iron ores.
2601.12.00Hematite Iron Ore Pellets
Agglomerated pellets from hematite (Fe2O3) concentrates, optimized for high productivity in pellet-fed blast furnaces. These pellets are classified under tariff item 2601.12.00 as agglomerated iron ore, differentiated from raw ores by the agglomeration process.
2601.12.00Hematite Pellet Feed Briquettes
Agglomerated hematite fines formed into briquettes from high-grade Brazilian Carajás ore, optimized for direct reduction processes. These briquettes are a form of agglomerated iron ore concentrate, falling under tariff item 2601.12.00.
2601.12.00High-Grade Magnetite Pellets
Pellets produced from magnetite iron ore concentrates, agglomerated for premium steelmaking applications with iron content over 70%. These high-grade pellets are classified under tariff item 2601.12.00 as agglomerated iron ore.
2601.12.00Iron Ore Pellets (10-16 mm)
Agglomerated iron ore pellets produced by binding fine iron ore particles with bentonite and heat-hardening them into spheres typically 10-16 mm in diameter. These pellets are a standard form of agglomerated iron ore, classified under tariff item 2601.12.00.
2601.12.00Iron Ore Pellets (DR Grade)
High-quality iron ore pellets designed for direct reduction processes in steelmaking, agglomerated from fine iron ore concentrates with a typical iron content of 67-69%. These DR-grade pellets are classified under tariff item 2601.12.00 as agglomerated iron ore.
2601.12.00Kiruna Magnetite Concentrate Briquettes
High-purity LKAB Kiruna magnetite ground to less than 45 micrometers, agglomerated into green pellets then hardened for DR pellet feed. The agglomeration process qualifies this product under tariff item 2601.12.00 for agglomerated iron ore concentrates.
2601.12.00Magnetite Iron Ore Briquettes
Briquetted magnetite concentrate from taconite processing, where fine magnetic iron ore is pelletized or briquetted for transport and furnace use. This agglomerated form is classified under tariff item 2601.12.00 regardless of the specific agglomeration method.
2601.12.00Sintered Iron Ore Fines (BF Pellets)
Blast furnace pellets are sintered agglomerates of iron ore fines, flux, and fuel, formed into porous cakes then crushed to uniform sizes for optimal furnace permeability. These agglomerated iron ore products fall under tariff item 2601.12.00.
2601.12.00Taconite Iron Ore Pellets (Mesabi Range)
Low-grade taconite from Minnesota's Mesabi Range is beneficiated, pelletized with bentonite, and indurated into 9-16 mm acid pellets for blast furnaces. These agglomerated pellets are classified under tariff item 2601.12.00 as agglomerated iron ore.
