Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If iron content exceeds tin and particles >4.75mm
Predominantly iron ores classified as coarse under statistical note for 2601.11.0060, not tin ores.
If roasted or calcined for further processing
Calcined or roasted tin concentrates move out of 2609 to heading 2613 for chemically processed ores.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed beneficiation process documentation and tin assay results; watch for misclassification as iron ore if pyrrhotite dominates
• Use ISPM-15 compliant packaging for bulk shipments to prevent contamination
