Chapter 26 of the HSN Code

Chapter 26 of the HSN Code includes various ores, slag, and ash, which are important in metal extraction and industrial processes. It covers ores such as iron (HSN Code 2601), manganese (HSN Code 2602), copper (HSN Code 2603), and nickel (HSN Code 2604), along with ores for other metals like cobalt (HSN Code 2605), aluminium (HSN Code 2606), lead (HSN Code 2607), zinc (HSN Code 2608), tin (HSN Code 2609), and chromium (HSN Code 2610). Additionally, it includes tungsten (HSN Code 2611), uranium or thorium ores (HSN Code 2612), and molybdenum ores (HSN Code 2613), among others, with a focus on various metal content. The chapter also covers ores and concentrates for rare and industrial metals, including titanium (HSN Code 2614), niobium, tantalum, vanadium, and zirconium (HSN Code 2615), as well as precious-metal ores (HSN Code 2616). It further includes other ores not classified under specific metal categories (HSN Code 2617). These ores play a critical role in the production of valuable materials for industrial use. In addition to ores, the chapter addresses slag, ash, and residues from various industrial processes. This includes granulated slag from iron or steel production (HSN Code 2618), as well as slag, dross, and other waste materials (HSN Code 2619). It also covers slag, ash, and residues containing metals, arsenic, or related compounds (HSN Code 2620), along with specific slag and ash from seaweed or municipal waste incineration (HSN Code 2621). These by-products are often utilized in various manufacturing and recycling applications.
