2617 10 00 — Other ores and concentrates: antimony ores and concentrates
Other ores and concentrates: antimony ores and concentrates
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

2617 Other ores and concentrates: 2617 10 - ores and concentrates of antimony 2617 90 - other
The principal ores commonly dealt with in this heading are: (1) Antimony ores: (a) servantite, antimony oxide; (b) cermesite (antimony oxide); (c) senarmontite, antimony oxide; (d) stibnite (or antimonite), antimony sulfide; (e) valentinite, or white antimony oxide. (2) Beryllium ores: (a) beryl, double beryllium silicate and aluminum. (In the form of precious stones, beryl or emerald, it falls in heading 7103); (b) bertrandite. (3) Bismuth ores: (a) bismutinite (or bismuth shine), bismuth sulfide; (b) bismutite, hydrated bismuth carbonate; (c) bismuth ochre (or bismite), bismuth hydroxide. (4) Germanium ores: Germanite, copper germanosulphide. This heading does not include those products which are known in trade as germanium "concentrates" obtained by processing which is not characteristic of the metallurgical industry (mainly heading 2825). (5) Mercury ores: Kinovary, mercury sulfide. Indium, gallium, rhenium, hafnium, thallium and cadmium are not extracted directly from one particular ore, but are obtained as by-products in metallurgical processes of other metals (e.g., zinc, lead, copper, aluminum, zirconium, molybdenum).

Notes
English text as published in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/1832 (Combined Nomenclature). The EAEU tariff and the EU nomenclature copy these notes from the same convention. For a Russian declaration the binding version is the Russian one: Annex to Decision No 80 of the EEC Council of 14 September 2021.
1. This chapter does not cover:
(a) slag or similar industrial waste prepared as macadam (heading 2517);
(b) natural magnesium carbonate (magnesite), whether or not calcined (heading 2519);
(c) sludges from the storage tanks of petroleum oils, consisting mainly of such oils (heading 2710);
(d) basic slag of Chapter 31;
(e) slag wool, rock wool or similar mineral wools (heading 6806);
(f) waste or scrap of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal; other waste or scrap containing precious metal or precious-metal compounds, of a kind used principally for the recovery of precious metal (heading 7112 or 8549); or
(g) copper, nickel or cobalt mattes produced by any process of smelting (Section XV).
2. For the purposes of headings 2601 to 2617, the term ‘ores’ means minerals of mineralogical species actually used in the metallurgical industry for the extraction of mercury, of the metals of heading 2844 or of the metals of Section XIV or XV, even if they are intended for non-metallurgical purposes. Headings 2601 to 2617 do not, however, include minerals which have been submitted to processes not normal to the metallurgical industry.
3. Heading 2620 applies only to:
(a) slag, ash and residues of a kind used in industry either for the extraction of metals or as a basis for the manufacture of chemical compounds of metals, excluding ash and residues from the incineration of municipal waste (heading 2621); and
(b) slag, ash and residues containing arsenic, whether or not containing metals, of a kind used either for the extraction of arsenic or metals or for the manufacture of their chemical compounds.

1. For the purposes of subheading 2620 21, ‘leaded gasoline sludges and leaded anti-knock compound sludges’ mean sludges obtained from storage tanks of leaded gasoline and leaded anti-knock compounds (for example, tetraethyl lead), and consisting essentially of lead, lead compounds and iron oxide.
2. Slag, ash and residues containing arsenic, mercury, thallium or their mixtures, of a kind used for the extraction of arsenic or those metals or for the manufacture of their chemical compounds, are to be classified in subheading 2620 60.
