Products classified under HTS 2601.12.00.30
Iron Ore Pellets (DR Grade)
High-quality iron ore pellets designed for direct reduction processes in steelmaking, agglomerated from fine iron ore concentrates with a typical iron content of 67-69%. Classified under HTS 2601.12.0030 as agglomerated iron ore pellets, distinct from non-agglomerated ores or roasted pyrites.
BF Iron Ore Pellets
Blast furnace grade iron ore pellets, agglomerated for use in traditional blast furnace steel production, featuring high ferrous content and uniform sizing around 9-16 mm. Fits HTS 2601.12.0030 as agglomerated pellets, not roasted pyrites or loose concentrates.
High-Grade Magnetite Pellets
Pellets produced from magnetite iron ore concentrates, agglomerated for premium steelmaking applications with iron content over 70%. Specifically under HTS 2601.12.0030 for iron ore pellets, excluding non-agglomerated or pyritic forms.
Hematite Iron Ore Pellets
Agglomerated pellets from hematite (Fe2O3) concentrates, optimized for high productivity in pellet-fed blast furnaces. Classified in HTS 2601.12.0030 as iron ore pellets, differentiated by agglomeration from raw ores.
Fluxed Iron Ore Pellets
Iron ore pellets with added limestone flux for improved blast furnace performance, still primarily iron ore agglomerates. HTS 2601.12.0030 applies as agglomerated iron ores, not chemical compounds.
Taconite Pellets
Pellets from low-grade taconite ore (banded iron formation), beneficiated and agglomerated for Midwestern U.S. steel plants. Under HTS 2601.12.0030 for iron ore pellets.
Kiruna-Type Magnetite Pellets
High-purity pellets from Kiruna-style magnetite processing, agglomerated for electric arc furnace use. HTS 2601.12.0030 classification for agglomerated iron ore pellets.
