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.
