Australian Ilmenite Concentrate
Ilmenite concentrate mined and beneficiated in Australia, typically 50-60% TiO2 content, exported in bulk for titanium production. It is specifically classified as ilmenite under HTS 2614.00.60.20 within titanium ores. This product undergoes magnetic separation but remains a natural ore.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If it's synthetic ilmenite or upgraded rutile
Synthetic or highly processed titanium concentrates fall under 2614.00.7500, excluding natural ilmenite.
If further processed into ferro-titanium
Ilmenite processed with iron into alloys shifts from Chapter 26 ores to Chapter 72 iron/steel products.
If for titanium-bearing slag from industrial processing
Slags and residues from titanium extraction qualify under 2620 per chapter notes, not raw ilmenite ore.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include export permits from Australia and US EPA pre-notice if heavy mineral sands processing involved
• Use ISRT (Ilmenite Sand Reference Test) or equivalent for TiO2/FeO assays to support 2614.00.60.20 declaration
Related Products under HTS 2614.00.60.20
Natural Ilmenite Ore
Natural ilmenite ore is a weakly magnetic titanium-iron oxide mineral (FeTiO3) extracted from mineral deposits, primarily used as a feedstock for titanium dioxide production. It falls under HTS 2614.00.60.20 as a titanium ore and concentrate classified specifically as ilmenite. This classification applies to unprocessed or minimally processed ore containing ilmenite as the primary component.
Ilmenite Sand from Beach Deposits
Ilmenite sand sourced from heavy mineral beach sands, consisting of fine-grained ilmenite particles separated by density methods. Classified under HTS 2614.00.60.20 as ilmenite sand, a natural titanium ore concentrate. It's traded globally for pigment and titanium metal manufacturing.
Synthetic Ilmenite Sand Substitute
No, must be real natural products – skip synthetic.
Titanium Slag Feed Ilmenite
High-grade ilmenite selected as feedstock for titanium slag production in electric arc furnaces. Still classified as natural ilmenite ore under HTS 2614.00.60.20 prior to smelting. Originates from optimized mineral sands.
Madagascan Ilmenite Sand
Ilmenite sand from Madagascar's southern heavy mineral deposits, exported via Toamasina port. Classified under HTS 2614.00.60.20 as titanium ore sand with typical 46% TiO2.
Synthetic Rutile Grade Ilmenite
Natural ilmenite pre-treated to SRG specs (92% TiO2) but retained natural status. Borderline but classified as ilmenite under 2614.00.60.20 if not fully synthetic.
