Antimony-Gold Bearing Concentrate
Flotation concentrate from deposits containing both antimony and byproduct gold, with antimony as the primary metal value. Since antimony is the chief value and the product is an ore concentrate, it is classified under tariff item 2617.10.00, not as a precious metal ore.

Antimony Concentrate from Bolivian Mines
High-grade antimony concentrate produced from Bolivian stibnite deposits, with antimony content typically 50-60% after flotation processing. This concentrate remains in an unrefined state, suitable for metallurgical extraction of antimony metal, and therefore falls under tariff item 2617.10.00 for antimony ores and concentrates.
High-Grade Chinese Antimony Concentrate
Premium antimony concentrate (>60% Sb) exported from major Chinese producers via flotation of stibnite. This unrefined concentrate is used globally for antimony metal and trioxide production, and qualifies under tariff item 2617.10.00 as an antimony ore concentrate.
Jamesonite Antimony-Lead Ore
Jamesonite (Pb4FeSb6S14) is a sulfosalt mineral ore containing both antimony and lead, mined as a primary antimony source in some deposits. When antimony is the chief value, this ore falls under tariff item 2617.10.00 for antimony ores and concentrates.
Kermesite Antimony Oxide Ore
Kermesite (Sb2S2O) is a rare antimony ore mineral formed through oxidation of stibnite, containing antimony in oxide-sulfide form. It is suitable for metallurgical extraction of antimony and is classified under tariff item 2617.10.00 as an antimony ore and concentrate.
Stibnite Ore
Stibnite is the primary mineral ore of antimony, consisting mainly of antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3), typically appearing as steel-gray crystals. It falls under tariff item 2617.10.00 as a natural antimony ore mined directly from deposits.
Tetrahedrite Antimony-Copper Ore Concentrate
Tetrahedrite ((Cu,Fe)12Sb4S13) ore concentrate where antimony contributes significant value alongside copper, processed via selective flotation. When antimony is the chief value over copper, it is classified under tariff item 2617.10.00 for antimony ores and concentrates.
