Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 2614.00.60
Ilmenite Ore Concentrate
Ilmenite ore concentrate is a naturally occurring mineral primarily composed of iron titanium oxide (FeTiO3), processed to increase titanium content for industrial use. It falls under HTS 2614.00.60 as 'other' titanium ores and concentrates, excluding high-grade rutile. This classification applies to low-grade concentrates used mainly for titanium dioxide pigment production.
Leucoxene Titanium Concentrate
Leucoxene is an altered ilmenite ore concentrate with upgraded TiO2 content (typically 60-90%), appearing as fine white sand-like particles. Classified under HTS 2614.00.60 as 'other' titanium ores not meeting rutile criteria. Used in welding rod coatings and high-grade pigments.
Anatase Titanium Ore
Anatase is a crystalline form of TiO2 found in metamorphic rocks, mined and concentrated for titanium extraction. It qualifies under HTS 2614.00.60 as 'other' titanium ores distinct from rutile. Primarily used in specialty ceramics and titanium metal production.
Titanomagnetite Ore Concentrate
Titanomagnetite ore is a magnetic iron-titanium oxide mineral (Fe2TiO4) concentrated from ultramafic rocks. Falls under HTS 2614.00.60 for titanium-bearing ores not classifiable as rutile. Extracted for both vanadium and titanium recovery in steelmaking.
Synthetic Brookite Titanium Concentrate
Brookite, a less common TiO2 polymorph, appears in some natural concentrates but often synthetic for research. However, natural concentrates fall under HTS 2614.00.60 as other titanium ores. Used in advanced photocatalysts and optics.
Heavy Mineral Sand Titanium Slimes
Titanium-bearing slimes recovered from heavy mineral sand processing plants, containing fine ilmenite and leucoxene particles. Classified as 'other' under HTS 2614.00.60 when concentrated for titanium recovery. Represents tailings upgraded for metal extraction.
Perovskite Titanium Ore
Perovskite (CaTiO3) is a calcium titanium oxide mineral found in alkaline rock complexes, concentrated for titanium and REE recovery. Falls under HTS 2614.00.60 as other titanium ores. Source of titania and rare earth byproducts.
