Chapter 26 classification notes

Chapter 26 covers raw mineral ores; bulk commercial trade dominated. Most duty-free under MFN.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Refined metals fall under Chapters 72-81 not 26; raw ore stays in 26.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
