Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If non-pelletized sinter fines
Fines under 4.75 mm or non-agglomerated classify separately from processed pellets.
If roasted for pyrite content reduction
Roasting shifts to pyrites heading regardless of agglomeration.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use independent lab assays for iron, silica, and alumina content per HTS statistical notes
• Retain manufacturing records proving pelletization to avoid coarse ore classification
• Adhere to IMSBC Code Group A cargo precautions for potential liquefaction in transit
