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.
