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.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If TiO2 purity exceeds rutile threshold specifications
Concentrates meeting 'chiefly of rutile' criteria shift to the dedicated rutile subheading.
If chemically upgraded to synthetic rutile through reduction processes
Artificial titanium concentrates produced via industrial processing fall under inorganic chemicals rather than natural ores.
If when sold as part of mixed heavy mineral sand concentrates
Earths and mineral substances containing titanium but not primarily ores are classified under Chapter 25 mineral products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide geological origin certification and particle size analysis, as leucoxene's altered state differs from raw ilmenite
• Include radiation screening certificates if sourced from monazite-associated deposits common in heavy mineral sands
• Declare exact TiO2 assay without deductions for accurate statistical reporting as required by HTS notes
Related Products under HTS 2614.00.60
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.
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.
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.
