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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If consisting chiefly of rutile or rich in TiO2 content
High-grade rutile ores with predominantly TiO2 are classified separately under the specific rutile subheading.
If derived as a byproduct slag or residue from titanium processing
Per Chapter Note to 2620, industrial residues used for metal extraction fall there instead of raw ores.
If the ore contains significant iron content qualifying as iron ore
Ores primarily valued for iron extraction are classified under iron ore headings regardless of titanium presence.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain accurate assay reports certifying titanium dioxide (TiO2) content, as statistical reporting requires the undeducted metal quantity per HTS statistical notes
• Ensure proper documentation of origin and processing level to distinguish from synthetic rutile or slag residues under heading 2620
• Verify moisture content declaration to avoid misclassification as wet concentrates potentially falling under other mineral categories
