Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the manganese content is below 20% by dry weight
Ores with less than 20% manganese are classified as iron ores, not manganese ores.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the manganese content is verified by a certified assay report on a dry weight basis
• Declare the metal content in kilograms as required for statistical purposes
• Keep documentation of the ore's mineralogical composition to support classification
