Related Products under HTS 2611.00.30.00

Wolframite Ore

Wolframite is a primary tungsten-bearing ore mineral, typically containing 60-75% WO3, mined from hydrothermal veins. It falls under HTS 2611.00.30.00 as a tungsten ore used directly for concentrate production without significant processing. The assay quantity of metal content is reported without deductions per statistical notes.

Scheelite Ore

Scheelite ore consists of calcium tungstate (CaWO4) crystals from skarn or vein deposits, averaging 1-5% WO3 in raw form. Classified under HTS 2611.00.30.00 as unprocessed tungsten ore for milling into concentrates. Statistical notes require reporting pure metal content via assay.

Ferberite Tungsten Ore

Ferberite, an iron-rich endmember of the wolframite series, is a tungsten ore from granite-related deposits with high FeWO4 content. HTS 2611.00.30.00 covers this raw ore form before beneficiation. Metal content reported per assay without deductions.

Hübnerite Tungsten Ore

Hübnerite is a manganese-rich wolframite variety (MnWO4) extracted from pegmatites, serving as tungsten ore. Falls under HTS 2611.00.30.00 for unbeneficiated ores; statistical reporting focuses on tungsten assay.

Low-Grade Tungsten Skarn Ore

Skarn deposit ore containing scheelite disseminated in limestone, typically 0.5-2% WO3, mined via open pit. HTS 2611.00.30.00 applies to this raw tungsten ore before crushing/milling. Assay-based metal content reporting required.

Vein Wolframite Ore

High-grade wolframite from quartz veins in granite, 5-10% WO3, underground mined. Classified as tungsten ores under HTS 2611.00.30.00 in raw, uncrushed state. Statistical notes dictate undeducted metal reporting.
