Gibbsite Bauxite Concentrate
Gibbsite bauxite concentrate is a refined form of bauxite ore rich in gibbsite (Al(OH)3), separated through washing and screening to increase aluminum content. It falls under tariff item 2606.00.00 as an aluminum ore concentrate, provided the processing is limited to physical methods typical of the metallurgical industry.
