Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2601.12.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If iron ore matrix predominates

Australian deposits often co-occur with iron; principal metal determines heading.

2612.20.00.00Lower: Free vs 25%

If Ranger ore with thorium byproducts

Thorium content may trigger subheading 2612.20 classification.

2621.90.00.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If from waste incineration processes

Chapter note excludes municipal waste residues from 2620 but allows 2621.

Budget for extended CBP holds pending radiation surveys at port

Related Products under HTS 2612.10.00.00

Uraninite Ore

Uraninite, also known as pitchblende, is a primary uranium-bearing mineral ore consisting mainly of uranium oxide (UO2). It is mined and processed into concentrates for nuclear fuel production, falling under HTS 2612.10.00.00 as a uranium ore.

Pitchblende Uranium Concentrate

Pitchblende concentrate is a milled and chemically processed form of uraninite ore with elevated U3O8 content, typically 70-90%. Classified under HTS 2612.10.00.00 as uranium concentrates for further refining into yellowcake.

Autunite Uranium Ore

Autunite is a fluorescent calcium uranium phosphate mineral ore, often found in secondary deposits, containing about 20% U3O8 equivalent. It qualifies as uranium ore under HTS 2612.10.00.00 when mined for uranium recovery.

Torbernite Copper-Uranium Ore

Torbernite is a copper uranyl arsenate mineral ore from hydrothermal deposits, valued for uranium content despite copper association. Falls under HTS 2612.10.00.00 as uranium ore when uranium is the principal metal extracted.

Uranium Ore Fines from Open-Pit Mining

Crushed fines (<4.75mm) from open-pit uranium mines, typically low-grade ore milled on-site before transport. Classified as uranium ores under HTS 2612.10.00.00, distinct from concentrates by processing level.

Canadian Uranium Ore Concentrate (U3O8)

U3O8 concentrate produced from high-grade Canadian uranium ores like those from McArthur River mine, containing 85-95% triuranium octoxide. HTS 2612.10.00.00 covers such imported uranium concentrates for U.S. fuel cycle.
