Dead Burned Calcined Dolomite for Steel Flux
High-purity calcined dolomite dead-burned at 1700°C+ for use as fluxing agent in basic oxygen steelmaking converters. HTS 2518.20.00.00 covers this sintered/calcined form, differentiated from raw dolomite by its reactivity and thermal stability.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily quicklime with minor dolomite
Lime products dominated by CaO from dolomite calcination shift to heading 2522.
If agglomerated into built-up shapes
Calcined dolomite formed into non-rectangular agglomerated articles becomes Chapter 68 products.
If pebbles, granules under 1.5cm for general use
Chapter note prioritizes 2517 for granular/powdered forms regardless of calcination.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include XRF analysis showing >40% MgO post-calcination to validate refractory specification
• Declare particle size distribution if powdered to avoid confusion with agglomerated products
• Confirm no additives present, as mixtures could fall under 3824 prepared binders
