Products classified under HTS 2610.00.00.60
High-Grade Chromite Ore Lumps
Lump chromite ore with a chromium content equivalent to 46% or more Cr2O3, primarily mined from deposits in South Africa or Zimbabwe. This ore is used directly in ferrochrome production for stainless steel manufacturing. It falls under HTS 2610.00.0060 due to its high chromic oxide equivalent meeting the specified threshold.
Chromite Concentrate Fines
Fine-ground chromite concentrate with ≥46% Cr2O3 equivalent, produced by beneficiation of raw ore. Ideal for electric arc furnace charging in stainless steel mills. Classified under HTS 2610.00.0060 for its high chromium oxide content in ore form.
South African UG2 Chromite Ore
UG2 seam chromite ore from South Africa's Bushveld Complex, assaying 46-50% Cr2O3 equivalent. Commonly used in platinum group metal recovery and ferrochrome smelting. Meets HTS 2610.00.0060 criteria for high-chromium ores and concentrates.
Turkish High-Chrome Chromite Concentrate
Premium chromite concentrate from Turkey's Eti Krom mines, with 48%+ Cr2O3 equivalent. Exported in bulk for global stainless steel production. HTS 2610.00.0060 applies to its superior chromium content in concentrate form.
Zimbabwean High-Grade Chromite Lumps
Lumpy chromite ore from Zimbabwe's Great Dyke, exceeding 47% Cr2O3 equivalent. Sourced for high-carbon ferrochrome production. Qualifies under HTS 2610.00.0060 for its elevated chromium oxide content.
Philippine High-Chrome Chromite Ore
