Hematite Iron Ore Fines
Hematite iron ore in fine particle form, typically with particles under 6.35 mm, classified under HTS 2601.11.0060 as non-agglomerated iron ore fines other than roasted pyrites. It is used primarily in blast furnaces for steel production after sintering or pelletizing. The 'other' subheading applies to fines not meeting the coarse particle size criteria.
Magnetite Iron Ore Concentrate
Concentrated magnetite iron ore with high Fe content, in non-agglomerated powder or fines form, under HTS 2601.11.00.90. This excludes roasted pyrites and is distinguished from coarse ores. Primarily exported for beneficiation in steelmaking.
Goethite Iron Ore Fines
Goethite-rich iron ore fines, non-agglomerated and not roasted pyrites, fitting HTS 2601.11.00.90 as 'other' iron ores. Common in sedimentary deposits, used in direct reduction processes. Particle size ensures non-coarse classification.
Limonite Iron Ore Powder
Fine limonite iron ore powder, non-agglomerated, classified in HTS 2601.11.00.90 excluding coarse and roasted types. Derived from weathered deposits, suitable for pellet feed in steel mills.
