Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If formed into pellets rather than briquettes
Pellets are separately reported under the agglomerated non-coarse subheading.
If containing significant slag or residues
Slag/ash residues used for metal extraction fall under Chapter 26 heading 2620.
If for coarse non-agglomerated sinter
Non-agglomerated coarse iron ores shift to the coarse unagglomerated category.

Iron Ore Briquettes (Non-Coarse Agglomerates)
Briquettes made from iron ore fines and concentrates, agglomerated through binding and compression to form compact shapes under 4.75 mm particle size dominance. Classified under HTS 2601.12.0060 as non-roasted, agglomerated iron ore briquettes, distinct from coarse ores or pellets.
Magnetite Iron Ore Briquettes
Briquettes agglomerated from magnetite (Fe3O4) ore concentrates, non-coarse particles for direct reduction processes. HTS 2601.12.0060 covers these as agglomerated iron ores excluding roasted pyrites.
Taconite Briquettes
Low-grade taconite iron ore formed into briquettes via agglomeration for beneficiation. Non-roasted, non-coarse under HTS 2601.12.0060 as iron ore concentrates in briquette form.
Goethite Iron Ore Briquettes
Briquettes from goethite-rich iron ore fines, agglomerated for steel mill use, with particles under coarse threshold. Precisely matches HTS 2601.12.0060 for non-roasted briquetted iron ores.
