Products classified under HTS 2610.00.00.20
Chromite Ore Lumpy Grade A
Lumpy chromite ore with a chromium content equivalent to 30-35% Cr2O3, primarily composed of chromite mineral (FeCr2O4). Classified under HTS 2610.00.0020 due to its low chromium oxide equivalence not exceeding 40%. Used mainly as feedstock for ferrochrome production in stainless steel manufacturing.
South African UG2 Chromite Fines
Fines recovered from UG2 PGM tailings in South Africa, averaging 25-32% Cr2O3 equivalence. Classified as chromium ores under HTS 2610.00.0020 due to ≤40% chromium content. Widely used in refractory brick manufacturing.
Indian Metallurgical Chromite Concentrate
Washed and screened chromite concentrate from Odisha mines, 35% Cr2O3 equivalence. Fits HTS 2610.00.0020 for concentrates ≤40% chromium oxide. Key input for Indian stainless steel exports.
Turkish Low-Chrome Chromite Ore
Run-of-mine chromite ore from Turkish deposits with 22-38% Cr2O3 equivalence. HTS 2610.00.0020 applies to this unbeneficiated ore ≤40% chromium content. Primarily exported for foundry sand applications.
Low-Grade Chromite Concentrate
Flotation-processed chromite concentrate with approx. 28% Cr2O3 equivalence, low gangue content. Falls under HTS 2610.00.0020 as chromium ore/concentrate ≤40% Cr2O3. Ideal for metallurgical applications in chrome alloy production.
