Magnetite Iron Ore Concentrate from China
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.

Import Tips
• Verify iron content via assay reports without deductions to match statistical reporting requirements
• Ensure particle size confirms non-agglomeration (not pelletized) to avoid misclassification
• Obtain certificates of analysis for Fe, silica, and impurities to comply with customs valuation
