Products classified under HTS 2601.11.00
Non-Agglomerated Hematite Iron Ore Fines
Hematite iron ore fines with iron content typically 60-65%, consisting of particles mostly under 6.3mm in size, non-agglomerated and directly usable in blast furnaces after screening. Classified under HTS 2601.11.00 as non-agglomerated iron ores and concentrates, excluding roasted pyrites, due to its natural fine particle form without pelletizing or sintering.
Pilbara Blend Non-Agglomerated Iron Ore Fines
Premium Australian Pilbara blend fines (Fe 62%), non-agglomerated with low silica and alumina impurities, exported in bulk for direct sintering or blast furnace feed. Falls under HTS 2601.11.00 as non-agglomerated iron ore concentrates not subjected to roasting or agglomeration.
Carajás High-Grade Non-Agglomerated Iron Ore
Brazilian Carajás IOCJ fines (Fe 65%+), non-agglomerated natural ore with ultra-low impurities, ideal for direct reduction processes. HTS 2601.11.00 covers this as non-agglomerated iron ore, distinguished from agglomerates by lack of binding agents or heat treatment.
Kiruna Magnetite Iron Ore Concentrate Fines
Swedish LKAB Kiruna magnetite concentrate (Fe 67-70%), ground to fine non-agglomerated powder for pellet plant feed or direct use. Classified in 2601.11.00 as non-agglomerated iron ore concentrates, beneficiated but not formed into pellets.
Mesabi Range Taconite Iron Ore Fines
US Mesabi taconite fines (Fe 30% natural, upgraded to 60%+), non-agglomerated after grinding, used in Midwest sinter plants. HTS 2601.11.00 applies to these non-roasted, non-pelletized iron-bearing ores and concentrates.
High Phosphorus Non-Agglomerated Iron Ore Fines
Iron ore fines with elevated phosphorus (1-2%), non-agglomerated, requiring special steelmaking treatments. Under HTS 2601.11.00 as standard non-agglomerated iron ores, regardless of impurity levels.
Goethite-Rich Non-Agglomerated Iron Ore
Low-grade goethite (FeOOH) fines (Fe 55%), non-agglomerated pisolitic ore from Australian channels. HTS 2601.11.00 for non-agglomerated iron ores, even lower grades suitable for beneficiation.
Siderite Iron Ore Concentrate Fines
Carbonate siderite (FeCO3) fines (Fe 45-50%), magnetically concentrated, non-agglomerated. Classified HTS 2601.11.00 as iron ore concentrate without roasting or pelletizing.
Limonite Non-Agglomerated Iron Ore
Hydrated limonite ore fines (Fe 50%), non-agglomerated laterite deposits. HTS 2601.11.00 for natural non-agglomerated iron-bearing ores.
Coarse Non-Agglomerated Iron Ore (Over 4.75mm)
Screened coarse hematite ore with majority particles >4.75mm, non-agglomerated per statistical note. HTS 2601.11.00 base, reportable under 2601.11.0060 stats.
