Products classified under HTS 2612.20.00.00
Monazite Sand Concentrate
Monazite sand is a naturally occurring beach sand deposit rich in thorium-bearing minerals such as monazite, which contains thorium oxide (ThO2) alongside rare earth elements. It is mined and concentrated for thorium extraction, falling under HTS 2612.20.00.00 as a thorium ore and concentrate.
Thorite Ore Concentrate
Thorite is a thorium silicate mineral (ThSiO4) found in granitic pegmatites and alkaline rocks, concentrated through gravity separation for thorium recovery. Classified under HTS 2612.20.00.00 as a primary thorium ore and concentrate used in nuclear fuel processing.
Uranothorite Mixed Ore
Uranothorite is a thorium-uranium silicate ore where thorium predominates, mined from vein deposits and concentrated for separation. It qualifies under HTS 2612.20.00.00 specifically for thorium ores and concentrates.
Allanite Thorium Concentrate
Allanite, a complex epidote-group mineral containing thorium, is processed into concentrates from metamorphic rock deposits for thorium and rare earth extraction. Falls under HTS 2612.20.00.00 as a thorium-bearing ore.
Thorium-Bearing Beach Sand
Heavy mineral beach sands from coastal deposits, concentrated to enrich thorium content from monazite and other minerals. Imported under HTS 2612.20.00.00 for thorium ore recovery in industrial applications.
Processed Monazite Ore Fines
Fines from crushed and magnetically separated monazite ore, with elevated thorium oxide levels for further refining. Classified as thorium concentrates under HTS 2612.20.00.00.
Vein-Deposit Thorium Ore
Thorium ore extracted from hydrothermal vein systems, minimally processed into concentrates for metal recovery. HTS 2612.20.00.00 covers such primary thorium ores.
