Coarse Hematite Iron Ore
Coarse hematite iron ore consists of non-agglomerated particles primarily exceeding 4.75 mm in diameter, with high iron oxide content used directly in blast furnaces. It falls under HTS 2601.11.0060 as coarse, non-agglomerated iron ore per statistical notes defining 'coarse' by particle size. This classification applies to natural iron ores not processed into pellets or sinter.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fine-grained with majority particles under 4.75mm
Fine iron ores fall under the fine ore subheading within the same non-agglomerated category.
If agglomerated into pellets or briquettes
Agglomerated iron ores, like pellets, shift to the agglomerated heading regardless of particle size.
If roasted calcined pyrites
Roasted iron pyrites are classified separately from non-roasted natural iron ores.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify particle size distribution via assay to confirm 'coarse' status exceeding 4.75mm majority; obtain certificate of analysis for metal content without deductions
• Ensure no agglomeration processing to avoid reclassification; declare exact iron assay quantity per statistical notes
