Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is tungsten ore, not a concentrate
Heading 26.11 specifically covers tungsten ores and concentrates, but if the product is a concentrate, it may still fall here; however, 2617.90.00 is used when the concentrate is not specifically named.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the concentrate is not classified under a specific tungsten subheading; since none exists, 2617.90.00 applies
• Declare the tungsten metal content in kilograms per statistical note 1
• Keep records of the concentration process to show it aligns with metallurgical industry standards
