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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity exceeds typical concentrate thresholds
High-assay material may be deemed 'worked' uranium under Chapter 28.
If for molybdenum-associated uranium concentrates
Co-product ores with molybdenum shift classification.
If U.S.-origin ore returning after Canadian processing
Articles assembled abroad from U.S. components may qualify for duty-free entry.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Leverage US-Canada nuclear cooperation agreements for streamlined licensing
• Certify assay quantity per statistical note for accurate duty assessment
• Avoid delays by pre-filing Nuclear Regulatory Commission import authorization

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.
Australian Uranium Ore from Ranger Mine
Low-grade sandstone-hosted uranium ore from Australia's Ranger mine, shipped as run-of-mine material for offsite processing. Falls squarely under HTS 2612.10.00.00 as unbeneficiated uranium ore.
