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.

Coarse Magnetite Iron Ore

Coarse magnetite iron ore features magnetic iron oxide lumps with most particles over 4.75mm, ideal for direct reduction processes in steelmaking. Classified under HTS 2601.11.0060 for its non-agglomerated, coarse nature as defined by statistical notes on particle diameter. It is mined and shipped in bulk without further sizing or binding.

Coarse Goethite Iron Ore

Coarse goethite iron ore is a hydrated iron oxide with large particles exceeding 4.75mm, sourced from sedimentary deposits for blast furnace feed. It matches HTS 2601.11.0060 criteria for non-agglomerated coarse ores based on particle size statistical definition. Typically low in impurities for direct use in steel production.

Coarse Limonite Iron Ore

Coarse limonite iron ore comprises amorphous hydrated iron oxides in chunks over 4.75mm, used in ironworks after minimal preparation. HTS 2601.11.0060 covers this non-agglomerated coarse ore per the official particle size note. It is valued for its availability in tropical ore deposits.

Coarse Siderite Iron Ore

Coarse siderite iron ore is ferrous carbonate in large grains mostly above 4.75mm, calcined for iron production. It is classified under HTS 2601.11.0060 as non-agglomerated coarse iron ore according to statistical particle size criteria. Common in sedimentary iron formations.

Coarse Taconite Iron Ore

Coarse taconite iron ore from banded iron formations has particles exceeding 4.75mm, non-agglomerated for initial processing. Fits HTS 2601.11.0060 as coarse ore per statistical notes on diameter. Low-grade but abundant source for North American steel.
