HSN Code Details
Steel manufacturers and cement producers drive demand for iron ore lumps containing up to 10 % manganese, with an iron content ranging from 55 % to just under 58 %. These are coarse, natural aggregates mined and processed to meet metallurgical specifications.
When shipping, the lumps must be kept dry and are usually loaded in open‑top bulk bags or steel containers; customs documentation should reference the freely exportable status to avoid unnecessary licensing checks.
