Products classified under HTS 2617.90.00.60
Tungsten Ore Concentrate
Tungsten ore concentrate is a refined form of wolframite or scheelite ore processed to increase tungsten trioxide content, classified under HTS 2617.90.0060 as 'other' non-ferrous metal ores and concentrates excluding specific listed types. It is primarily used in the production of tungsten carbide tools and alloys.
Molybdenum Ore Concentrate
Molybdenum ore concentrate, typically from molybdenite, is enriched to high molybdenum disulfide content and falls under HTS 2617.90.0060 as 'other' ores excluding precious metal types. It serves as feedstock for steel alloying and catalysts.
Bismuth Ore Concentrate
Bismuth ore concentrate derived from bismuthinite or other minerals, enriched for smelting, is included in HTS 2617.90.0060 as other ores. Key for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and low-melt alloys.
Niobium Ore Concentrate (Columbite)
Columbite-tantalite ore concentrate rich in niobium (columbium), classified under HTS 2617.90.0060 as other non-ferrous ores. Essential for superalloys in aerospace and steel.
Zirconium Ore Concentrate (Zircon Sand)
Zircon sand, a concentrate of zirconium silicate ore, falls under HTS 2617.90.0060 as other ores and concentrates. Used in ceramics, refractories, and nuclear applications.
Vanadium Ore Concentrate
Vanadium ore concentrate from carnotite or patronite, enriched for vanadium pentoxide production, is under HTS 2617.90.0060 as other ores. Critical for steel strengthening.
Rare Earth Ore Concentrate (Bastnasite)
Bastnasite ore concentrate containing mixed rare earth elements like cerium and lanthanum, classified in HTS 2617.90.0060 as other non-ferrous ores. Used in magnets, catalysts, and electronics.
