Ores and concentrates; n.e.c. in heading no. 2601
HS v2022 Code: 2617
About ores and concentrates; n.e.c. in heading no. 2601
HS code 2617 covers a diverse range of ores and concentrates that are not classified elsewhere in the 2601 heading. These materials play a crucial role in the global economy, serving as essential raw inputs for various industries, including metallurgy, chemical production, and construction. The extraction and processing of these ores and concentrates contribute significantly to international trade and economic development.
Production process
The production techniques for ores and concentrates under HS code 2617 typically involve mining, beneficiation, and concentration processes. Mining operations extract the raw materials from the earth's crust, while beneficiation techniques, such as crushing, screening, and flotation, are used to upgrade the ore by removing impurities and increasing the concentration of the desired minerals. The resulting concentrates are then further processed or traded for use in downstream industries.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of ores and concentrates under HS code 2617 include mining equipment, such as excavators, crushers, and conveyor systems, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or diesel fuel, to power the extraction and processing operations. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including geologists, mining engineers, and plant operators, to efficiently and safely extract and process the ores.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the HS code 2617 industry are various ores and concentrates, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These include the 7401 Copper ores and concentrates, 2601 Iron ores and concentrates, and 2615 Niobium, tantalum, vanadium or zirconium ores and concentrates industries, among others. The processed ores and concentrates are essential feedstocks for the production of metals, chemicals, and other materials used in a variety of applications, from construction and transportation to electronics and renewable energy.
