Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ferruginous and manganese <20%
Ferruginous ores below 20% Mn treated as roasted iron ores under Chapter 26 heading 2601.
If synthetic manganese ore or non-ferruginous
Different statistical suffixes apply based on natural vs synthetic or ferruginous composition.
If agglomerated into pig iron or similar
Processed into pig iron or spiegeleisen changes to Chapter 72 for iron and steel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit laboratory assays for dry weight manganese content to validate <47% classification
• Declare as concentrate if beneficiated; raw ore may require different handling and valuation
• Check for radioactive impurities common in manganese ores and include in safety documentation
