Nickel Laterite Ore Sinters from Japan
Nickel laterite ore sinters are sinters produced from nickel laterite ores through rotary kiln agglomeration, containing nickel oxide with magnesium and silica gangue materials. They are used directly in the rotary kiln-electric furnace (RKEF) process for ferronickel production, making them intermediate products of nickel metallurgy.

Import Tips
• Ensure the sinters are not classified as ores, which are covered under Chapter 26, by demonstrating they have undergone sintering
• Provide documentation of the sintering process and the intended use in smelting
• Verify the nickel content to support classification under this heading
