Products classified under HTS 2606.00.00.90
Bauxite Ore Lump
Lump-form bauxite ore, primarily aluminum hydroxide mineral, used as feedstock for alumina production via the Bayer process. Classified under HTS 2606.00.00.90 as 'other' aluminum ores and concentrates, excluding calcined or otherwise processed forms. Typical aluminum content around 40-50%.
Guinea Bauxite Concentrate
High-grade bauxite concentrate from Guinea deposits, with >50% Al2O3, minimally processed by washing and screening. Falls under HTS 2606.00.00.90 as 'other' aluminum ores not fitting specific concentrate definitions. Key raw material for global alumina refineries.
Australian Gibbsite Bauxite
Gibbsite-rich bauxite ore from Western Australia, featuring trihydrate aluminum mineral, exported in raw lump form. HTS 2606.00.00.90 covers this as 'other' unprocessed aluminum ore. Primarily for electrolytic aluminum production.
Brazilian Karst Bauxite Ore
Karst topography bauxite from Brazil's Amazon region, high-grade with boehmite mineralogy, shipped as uncrushed ore. Under HTS 2606.00.00.90 for miscellaneous aluminum ores not otherwise specified. Used in specialty alumina for ceramics.
Jamaican Tribasic Bauxite
Tribasic (gibbsite) bauxite lumps from Jamaica, historically key US supplier, with 45%+ Al2O3. HTS 2606.00.00.90 as 'other' raw aluminum ore. Mined for direct alumina extraction.
Diaspore Bauxite Ore
Diaspore-dominant bauxite ore, monohydrate aluminum mineral, sourced from China or Greece, in coarse particle form. Covered by HTS 2606.00.00.90 as unspecified aluminum ores. High-temperature calcination feedstock.
