Madagascan 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.
