South African Ilmenite Sand
High-quality ilmenite sand from South Africa's Richards Bay mineral sands operations, used in chloride-process TiO2 production. Falls under HTS 2614.00.60.20 as ilmenite sand, a key titanium ore import. Particle size typically under 1mm after wet concentration.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If predominantly rutile rather than ilmenite
South African deposits also yield rutile, classified under 2614.00.3000 if TiO2 content exceeds ilmenite thresholds.
If coarse iron ore particles dominate
Statistical note defines coarse iron ores (>4.75mm); ilmenite with high iron could shift if not primarily titanium-valued.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compliance with South African export quotas and provide chain-of-custody documentation
• Report assay quantity per statistical notes; ensure no deductions for gangue materials

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.
