Roasted Iron Pyrite Concentrate
Roasted iron pyrite concentrate, also known as pyrite ash, is thermally processed iron sulfide ore used as a source of sulfur and iron in industrial applications. The roasting process stabilizes the material and reduces sulfur content, making it suitable for metallurgical use. This product falls under this tariff item as roasted iron pyrites.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the concentrate has been roasted, as unroasted concentrates are classified elsewhere
• Keep records of the thermal treatment and sulfur content for CBSA inspection
• Be aware that statistical reporting requires the metal content in kilograms

Calcined Iron Pyrite Lumps
Calcined iron pyrite lumps are chunks of iron sulfide ore that have been heat-treated to reduce sulfur volatility, making them safer for transport and metallurgical use. The roasting process distinguishes them from raw iron pyrites, which fall under heading 26.01 but not this tariff item. They are used in the metallurgical industry for iron extraction or as a sulfur source.
Industrial Roasted Pyrite Pellets
Industrial roasted pyrite pellets are pelletized forms of roasted iron pyrites, heat-treated for density and uniform feeding into roasters and smelters. The roasting process defines their classification under this tariff item, regardless of the pellet form. They are used in non-ferrous metallurgy and sulfuric acid production.
Pyrite Ash from Roasting
Pyrite ash from roasting is the residue obtained after roasting iron pyrites to produce sulfuric acid, containing residual iron oxides and sulfur. This product is specifically classified under this tariff item as roasted iron pyrites, before any further processing. It is used in metallurgy or as a source of iron and sulfur.
Roasted Pyritic Ore Fines
Roasted pyritic ore fines are fine particles of pyritic iron ore that have been heat-treated to stabilize them for industrial sulfur recovery and iron concentrate production. The roasting process is the defining characteristic, not the particle size, so they fall under this tariff item. They are used in metallurgy and chemical industries.
Sulfur-Bearing Roasted Pyrite
Sulfur-bearing roasted pyrite is roasted pyrite that retains significant sulfur content for direct use in acid production, thermally treated to remove impurities. This pre-extraction roasted form of iron pyrites is classified under this tariff item. It is commonly used in fertilizer and chemical manufacturing.
