Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily iron-bearing with manganese as minor component
Ferruginous ores dominated by iron (majority particles >4.75mm) fall under iron ore heading 2601.
If for roasted or calcined ferruginous manganese ores
Agglomerated or sintered forms are classified under iron ore concentrates in 2601.20.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certified assay reports verifying manganese content ≥20% on dry weight basis to avoid reclassification
• Declare net dry weight accurately, as moisture content affects duty calculation; provide drying method documentation
• Check for ferruginous impurities; if iron dominates, it may shift to iron ore headings

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%.
