Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2602.00.00.60Same rate: 25%

If higher assay exceeding 47% Mn

Statistical break at 47% Mn separates low/high grade within manganese ores heading.

2530.90Lower: 10% vs 25%

If mineral earths not for metal extraction

Earths and mineral substances not primarily for metals classify under 2530.

2621.90.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If from incineration or waste processing

Ash/residues from municipal waste incineration excluded to heading 2621.
