Products classified under HTS 2604.00.00.80
Nickel Laterite Ore
Nickel laterite ore is a type of nickel-bearing ore extracted from weathered ultramafic rocks, containing nickel along with iron, cobalt, and other metals. It falls under HTS 2604.00.0080 as a nickel ore and concentrate with other metal content beyond pure nickel, typically reported by assay quantity without deductions per statistical notes.
Garnierite Nickel Ore
Garnierite is a hydrous nickel magnesium silicate mineral ore, primary source of nickel in laterite deposits with associated metals like magnesium and iron. Classified under HTS 2604.00.0080 for nickel ores containing other metals, excluding pure nickel concentrates.
Saprolite Nickel Ore
Saprolite nickel ore from the lower laterite profile, richer in nickel and magnesium with lower iron compared to limonite types. It qualifies for HTS 2604.00.0080 due to its mixed metal content in nickel ore form, reported by undeducted assay quantities.
Limonite Nickel Ore
Limonite nickel ore, the iron-rich upper layer of laterite deposits, contains nickel oxide with high iron and minor cobalt. Under HTS 2604.00.0080 for nickel ores with other metal content, distinct from pure concentrates.
Nickeliferous Pyrrhotite Ore
Nickeliferous pyrrhotite ore is sulfide ore containing nickel associated with iron sulfides, often from magmatic deposits. HTS 2604.00.0080 covers this as nickel ore with other (iron) metal content per chapter definitions.
Pentlandite-Bearing Nickel Ore
Ore containing pentlandite, the chief nickel iron sulfide mineral, with associated copper and iron. Falls under HTS 2604.00.0080 for nickel ores featuring other metals, reported via assay without deductions.
Norilsk-Style Nickel-Copper Ore
Massive sulfide ore from deposits like Norilsk, rich in nickel, copper, and platinum group metals. Classified in HTS 2604.00.0080 as nickel ore with significant other metal content.
High-Grade Nickel Silicate Ore
High-grade ore composed mainly of nickel silicates like falcondite, with minor iron and magnesium. HTS 2604.00.0080 applies to such nickel ores containing other metals beyond pure form.
Nickeliferous Laterite Fines
Crushed fines from nickel laterite ores, sized under 6mm, containing mixed nickel-iron-cobalt. Under HTS 2604.00.0080 for other nickel ores with metal content, distinct from coarse per statistical notes.
Mixed Nickel-Cobalt Laterite Ore
Laterite ore with balanced nickel and cobalt content, often co-extracted, plus iron impurities. HTS 2604.00.0080 captures this as nickel ore with other (cobalt, iron) metal content.
Awakened Nickel Ore
Awakened ore refers to selectively mined high-nickel zones in laterite profiles. Classified under HTS 2604.00.0080 for nickel ores with accompanying other metals.
Ferruginous Nickel Ore
Iron-rich (ferruginous) nickel ore from oxidized zones, with 1-2% nickel. HTS 2604.00.0080 for such mixed metal nickel ores.
Siliceous Nickel Ore
Ore dominated by silica gangue with nickel minerals, low iron. HTS 2604.00.0080 applies.
Nickel-Bearing Goethite Ore
Goethite-hosted nickel ore, iron oxyhydroxide matrix. HTS 2604.00.0080.
Partial Nickel Concentrate Ore
Low-grade concentrate from flotation, <10% Ni with other metals. HTS 2604.00.0080.
