Synthetic Rutile TiO2 Grade A from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
