Products classified under HTS 2601.12.00.90
Pelletized Hematite Iron Ore Fines
Agglomerated hematite iron ore fines formed into uniform pellets exceeding 4.75 mm in diameter through binder addition and high-temperature processing. This product falls under HTS 2601.12.0090 as 'other' agglomerated iron ores, distinct from non-agglomerated fines or roasted pyrites. Used primarily in blast furnaces for steel production.
Sintered Magnetite Iron Ore Pellets
High-grade magnetite iron ore agglomerated into sintered pellets for optimal blast furnace performance, with particle sizes over 4.75 mm. Classified under HTS 2601.12.0090 as 'other' agglomerated iron ores not specified elsewhere. Provides consistent metallurgical properties for steel manufacturing.
Brazilian Itabirite Iron Ore Briquettes
Agglomerated itabirite iron ore from Brazil, compacted into briquettes exceeding 4.75 mm for efficient transport and smelting. HTS 2601.12.0090 covers this as 'other' agglomerated ores beyond basic pellets. High silica content suits specific direct reduction processes.
Australian Pilbara Hematite Sinter Feed Pellets
Premium agglomerated hematite from Australia's Pilbara region, pelletized for sinter plant feed with uniform size >4.75 mm. Falls under HTS 2601.12.0090 as unspecified agglomerated iron concentrates. Optimized for high-productivity steel mills.
Direct Reduced Iron Ore (DRI) Pellets
Agglomerated iron ore pellets pre-reduced for direct use in electric arc furnaces, sized over 4.75 mm. HTS 2601.12.0090 includes these as 'other' agglomerated ores prior to full metallization. Bridges ore and scrap in steel recycling.
Lumpy Hematite Briquetted Concentrate
High-purity hematite concentrate agglomerated into lumpy briquettes >4.75 mm for premium steel grades. Under HTS 2601.12.0090 as other agglomerated iron ores. Reduces transport volume while maintaining ore quality.
Fluxed Iron Ore Sinter Pellets
Agglomerated iron ore sinter pellets with added flux for improved furnace permeability, particles >4.75 mm. HTS 2601.12.0090 for other agglomerated forms. Enhances blast furnace efficiency.
Kiruna Magnetite Pellet Feed
Agglomerated magnetite from Sweden's Kiruna mine, processed into large-diameter pellets. Classifies under HTS 2601.12.0090 as other agglomerated iron ore. Renowned for consistent quality in global steel production.
Carajás High-Grade Iron Ore Briquettes
Premium agglomerated ore from Brazil's Carajás, briquetted for dust-free handling. HTS 2601.12.0090 covers these high-Fe agglomerates. Ideal for low-impurity steelmaking.
Mesabi Range Taconite Pellets
Agglomerated taconite iron ore from Minnesota's Mesabi Range, formed into hard pellets >4.75 mm. Under HTS 2601.12.0090 as other agglomerated ores. Backbone of U.S. steel industry.
