HSN Code Details
Steel manufacturers and alloy producers drive demand for manganese ore containing about 46 % manganese, a dense black mineral that is mined, crushed and screened to a coarse size before shipment.
Shipments are typically loaded in open‑top bulk containers to allow quick loading and unloading, and the cargo must be moisture‑controlled to prevent clumping during transit; India permits free export of this ore without a license.
