HS subheading 2605.00 identifies Cobalt ores and concentrates — a six-digit classification under Chapter 26 used to set duty and paperwork.
Sourcing this category from India
HS 2605.00 covers Cobalt ores and concentrates. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India exports iron ore, chromite, manganese and bauxite to steel and metal industries across Asia.
How to read this code
2605.00 is the six-digit HS subheading for cobalt ores and concentrates. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many mineral products lines — check our import guides for your market.
