2614.00.30.00/Chloride-Process Synthetic Rutile Slag/Japan

Chloride-Process Synthetic Rutile Slag from Japan

Chloride-process synthetic rutile slag is an upgraded ilmenite product with approximately 95% TiO2 content, created via selective chlorination to remove iron. Classified under HTS 2614.00.30.00 as synthetic titanium concentrate, it serves as a key raw material for titanium sponge production in the Kroll process. Its high purity makes it preferable over natural ores for chloride pigment plants.

Import Tips

• Provide production process flowcharts and chemical analyses showing TiO2 recovery from ilmenite to avoid reclassification as titanium dioxide chemical

• Comply with EPA import requirements for mineral processing residues; include waste characterization if applicable

• Use HS explanatory notes to justify synthetic origin, as blending with natural rutile could shift to 2614.00.10.00
