Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 2602.00.00
High-Grade Manganese Ore
Natural manganese ore extracted from deposits with a manganese content exceeding 44% on a dry weight basis, including ferruginous varieties. Classified under HTS 2602.00.00 due to its minimum 20% manganese content meeting the chapter's criteria for manganese ores and concentrates.
Medium-Grade Ferruginous Manganese Ore
Ferruginous manganese ore containing 25-35% manganese and significant iron impurities, sourced from sedimentary deposits. It qualifies for HTS 2602.00.00 as its manganese content exceeds the 20% threshold on dry weight.
Manganese Ore Concentrate
Mechanically concentrated manganese ore with 38% Mn content, produced by crushing, screening, and gravity separation. Falls under HTS 2602.00.00 as a concentrate with manganese ≥20% dry weight, excluding chemically altered forms.
Psilomelane Manganese Ore
Psilomelane, a cryptomelane mineral ore with 30-40% manganese oxide content, mined from oxide deposits. Classified in HTS 2602.00.00 for its dry weight manganese meeting or exceeding 20%.
Pyrolusite Manganese Ore
Pyrolusite (MnO2) ore lumps with 35% metallic manganese equivalent on dry basis from South African mines. HTS 2602.00.00 applies due to high manganese purity exceeding 20% threshold.
Rhodochrosite Manganese Ore
Carbonate manganese ore (rhodochrosite) with 28% Mn from sedimentary layers, including ferruginous variants. Qualifies under HTS 2602.00.00 for dry weight manganese content ≥20%.
Manganese Ore Fines
Crushed manganese ore fines (<6mm) with 32% Mn content from beneficiation plants. HTS 2602.00.00 covers these concentrates as long as dry weight Mn ≥20%.
Braunite Manganese Ore
Silicate manganese ore (braunite) containing 24% Mn with iron and silica, from metamorphic deposits. Classified HTS 2602.00.00 based on qualifying dry weight manganese.
Hausmannite Manganese Ore
Hausmannite (Mn3O4) ore with 22% Mn from hydrothermal veins, ferruginous type. Meets HTS 2602.00.00 manganese minimum on dry weight analysis.
Manganite Manganese Ore
Hydrated manganese oxide ore (manganite) with 28% Mn content from oxidized zones. HTS 2602.00.00 for ores/concentrates ≥20% Mn dry weight.
