Products classified under HTS 2601.11.00.30
Magnetite Iron Ore Concentrate
Magnetite iron ore concentrate is a finely ground, non-agglomerated product with high iron content, typically over 65% Fe, produced by processing raw magnetite ore through crushing, grinding, and magnetic separation. It falls under HTS 2601.11.0030 as non-agglomerated iron ore concentrates, distinguished from agglomerated forms like pellets or sinter.
Hematite Iron Ore Concentrate
Hematite iron ore concentrate is a high-purity, non-agglomerated powder derived from hematite deposits, with iron content around 67% Fe after beneficiation via gravity or magnetic separation. Classified under HTS 2601.11.0030 for non-agglomerated concentrates, it is used directly in blast furnaces.
Taconite Iron Ore Concentrate
Taconite iron ore concentrate is produced from low-grade banded iron formations, ground to fine non-agglomerated particles with 65-68% Fe after magnetic separation. It is specifically under HTS 2601.11.0030 as non-agglomerated concentrates, prior to any pelletizing.
Goethite Iron Ore Concentrate
Goethite iron ore concentrate is a fine, non-agglomerated product from limonitic ores, enriched to 60-65% Fe through wet beneficiation processes. HTS 2601.11.0030 covers such non-agglomerated concentrates used in direct reduction ironmaking.
Siderite Iron Ore Concentrate
Siderite iron ore concentrate is derived from sedimentary carbonate ores, finely milled and magnetically separated to yield non-agglomerated powder with 62% Fe content. It is classified in HTS 2601.11.0030 for its concentrate form, excluding roasted pyrites.
High-Grade Pilbara Iron Ore Concentrate
Pilbara iron ore concentrate from Australia features premium 67%+ Fe in non-agglomerated fine form, produced via dense media separation. Under HTS 2601.11.0030 as non-agglomerated concentrates, ideal for low-impurity steel production.
Kiruna Magnetite Concentrate
Kiruna-type magnetite concentrate from Sweden's LKAB mines is a high-purity, non-agglomerated powder with 69% Fe, used in premium steel grades. HTS 2601.11.0030 applies to this beneficiated, non-agglomerated iron ore product.
Itabirite Iron Ore Concentrate
Itabirite iron ore concentrate from Brazil's Quadrilátero Ferrífero is a fine non-agglomerated silica-lean product averaging 66% Fe post-flotation. Classified under HTS 2601.11.0030 for non-agglomerated concentrates.
