Synthetic Rutile TiO2 Grade A
Synthetic rutile TiO2 Grade A is a high-purity titanium dioxide slag produced through the chloride process, containing over 94% TiO2 with low iron impurities. It falls under HTS 2614.00.30.00 as a synthetic titanium concentrate used primarily as a feedstock for titanium metal production and pigment manufacturing. This processed ore substitute is distinguished from natural rutile by its artificial production from ilmenite.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further purified to >99% TiO2 for pigment use
Highly refined titanium dioxide becomes a chemical compound under Chapter 28, not an ore or concentrate.
If chemically treated or in slurry form for direct industrial feed
Processed preparations containing titanium oxides may classify as chemical products rather than raw concentrates.
If derived from natural rutile sources
Natural titanium ores and concentrates fall under the separate subheading for unprocessed mineral forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain assay certificates verifying TiO2 content >90% and low impurities to confirm classification under 2614.00.30.00; customs may require independent lab testing
• Ensure proper documentation of synthetic production process (e.g
• chloride slag from ilmenite) to distinguish from natural rutile under 2614.00.10
• Declare quantity based on assay metal content without deductions per statistical notes; misreporting can lead to penalties
