Ilmenite Ore Concentrate from Mexico
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.

Import Tips
• 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
