Titanomagnetite Ore Concentrate from China
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.

Import Tips
• Magnetic separation test results required to confirm titanium association versus pure iron ore classification
• Declare vanadium content separately, as dual-metal ores may trigger additional statistical reporting
• Ensure particle size meets 'concentrate' definition, avoiding bulk ore misclassification pitfalls
