Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 2610.00
Brazilian Refractory Chromite Ore
This is a natural chromite ore from Brazil, containing 30-40% Cr2O3 and 15-20% MgO. It is a mineral of mineralogical species used in the metallurgical industry for chromium extraction, and it has not been submitted to processes outside normal metallurgical beneficiation. Therefore, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00 as a chromium ore.
2610.00.00Chromite Ore 42% Cr2O3 Grade
This natural chromite ore from South Africa is assayed at 42% equivalent chromic oxide content. It is used primarily for stainless steel production. Therefore, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Chromite Ore Lumps
This product is chromite ore in lump form, composed primarily of iron chromium oxide (FeCr2O4), used as the main source for chromium extraction in ferrochrome production. It is a natural mineral of metallurgical significance and has not undergone processes beyond normal beneficiation. Thus, it is classified under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Chromite Ore Lumpy Grade A
This lumpy chromite ore has a chromium content equivalent to 30-35% Cr2O3, primarily composed of chromite mineral (FeCr2O4). It is a natural chromium ore used in metallurgical applications. Therefore, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Chromite Sand Concentrate
This is a fine chromite sand concentrate produced by gravity separation, with Cr2O3 content over 46%, used in foundry molding and steel production. It is a chromium concentrate derived from ore through physical beneficiation, which is normal in the metallurgical industry. Therefore, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Indian Metallurgical Chromite Concentrate
This metallurgical-grade chromite concentrate from India, with 46-50% Cr2O3 and a Cr/Fe ratio above 2.8:1, is essential for ferrochrome production. It is a beneficiated chromium ore product obtained through physical methods. Hence, it is classified under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Kazakhstan Chromite Flotation Concentrate
This ultra-fine chromite concentrate, produced by froth flotation from low-grade Kazakh ores, achieves 52% Cr2O3 recovery. Froth flotation is a physical concentration process normal to the metallurgical industry. Therefore, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Low-Grade Chromite Concentrate
This flotation-processed chromite concentrate has approximately 28% Cr2O3 equivalence and low gangue content. It is a chromium ore concentrate used in metallurgical applications. Thus, it is classified under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Madagascan Chemical-Grade Chromite Concentrate
This high-purity chromite concentrate from Madagascar, with 46-50% Cr2O3 and low iron, is used for sodium dichromate production via roasting and leaching. It is an unroasted chromium ore concentrate, and the intended end-use does not affect classification. Thus, it is classified under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Philippine Chromite Ore Pellets
These agglomerated chromite ore pellets from the Philippines, with 48% Cr2O3, are formed using bentonite binders for easier furnace charging. Physical agglomeration does not constitute chemical change, so the product remains a chromium ore. Therefore, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00South African UG2 Chromite Concentrate
This UG2 chromite concentrate from South Africa, containing 42-48% Cr2O3 with platinum byproducts, is used for ferrochrome smelting. It is classified under tariff item 2610.00.00 for its primary chromium ore value, despite containing other metals. The presence of platinum byproducts does not exclude it from this heading.
2610.00.00South African UG2 Chromite Fines
These fines, recovered from UG2 PGM tailings in South Africa, average 25-32% Cr2O3 equivalence. They are classified as chromium ores and are used in refractory brick manufacturing. Therefore, they fall under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Turkish Chromite Ore Fines
These high-grade chromite ore fines from Turkey, with 48-52% Cr2O3, are used in stainless steel and chrome chemical production. They are natural chromium ores beneficiated only by physical methods. Therefore, they fall under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Turkish Low-Chrome Chromite Ore
This run-of-mine chromite ore from Turkey has 22-38% Cr2O3 equivalence. It is an unbeneficiated ore primarily exported for foundry sand applications. Thus, it falls under tariff item 2610.00.00.
2610.00.00Zimbabwean High-Carbon Ferrochrome Ore
This lumpy chromite ore from Zimbabwe's Great Dyke, with 42-46% Cr2O3, is suitable for high-carbon ferrochrome production. It is a primary chromium-bearing ore used directly in smelting operations. Thus, it is classified under tariff item 2610.00.00.
