Import Tips & Compliance

• Briquettes must be stable; crumbling indicates improper roasting, risking downgrade

• Declare binder material if any (e.g

• molasses); organic content may affect duties

• Stack no higher than 4 pallets/container to prevent crushing

Roasted Molybdenite Concentrate

Roasted molybdenite concentrate is produced by calcining molybdenum sulfide ore to convert MoS2 into MoO3, removing sulfur as SO2. It falls under HTS 2613.10.00.00 as roasted molybdenum ores and concentrates, used primarily for extracting technical-grade molybdic oxide.

Calcined Molybdenum Ore Pellets

Pelletized roasted molybdenum ore, typically from molybdenite, undergoes oxidative roasting to produce MoO3-rich material for further processing. Classified under HTS 2613.10.00.00 as roasted concentrates, ideal for steel alloy production.

Roasted Copper-Molybdenite Flotation Concentrate

Flotation byproduct roasted to recover molybdenum from copper ores, yielding MoO3-rich material. Classified in HTS 2613.10.00.00 for its roasted molybdenum content, common from porphyry deposits.

Purified Roasted Molybdenum Concentrate Powder

Fine powder from roasted and partially purified molybdenum concentrate, Mo content 55-65%. HTS 2613.10.00.00 for roasted form used in catalysts and pigments.

Technical Molybdic Oxide from Roasted Ore

Primary product from roasting molybdenum concentrates, technical molybdic oxide (tech oxide) contains 99%+ MoO3. HTS 2613.10.00.00 covers this roasted form before final purification, key for lubricant and alloy industries.

Roasted Molybdenum-Wolframite Mixed Concentrate

Roasted concentrate blending molybdenite and wolframite, roasted to volatilize impurities. Falls under HTS 2613.10.00.00 as principal molybdenum roasted ore, used in multi-metal recovery plants.
