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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If micronized and surface-treated for direct pigment use
Processed anatase prepared as coloring matter falls under Chapter 32 pigments, not raw ores.
If for rare high-purity anatase deposits resembling rutile
Exceptionally rich TiO2 ores may qualify under the specific rutile classification based on composition.
If recovered from metallurgical slag containing arsenic
Chapter Note to 2620 includes arsenic-bearing residues used for metal/compound extraction.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit XRF analysis confirming anatase polymorph via diffraction patterns to prevent confusion with synthetic TiO2
• Include mining license copies verifying natural ore status versus laboratory-produced material
• Report gross weight and metal content separately, following statistical note requirements for assay quantities

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.
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.
