Upgraded Titanium Slag (UTS) 92% TiO2
Upgraded Titanium Slag (UTS) with 92% TiO2 is produced in electric arc furnaces from ilmenite, yielding a synthetic rutile substitute for titanium production. It is classified under HTS 2614.00.30.00 as synthetic titanium ore concentrate due to its artificial processing and high titanium content. Primarily used in aerospace-grade titanium manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If titanium content <70% TiO2
Lower-grade synthetic titanium concentrates fall under the residual subheading.
If calcined to pure synthetic rutile pigment
Artificial aluminum oxide mixtures with TiO2 classify as chemicals.
If further processed into ferrotitanium
Ferroalloys containing titanium are under Chapter 72 iron/steel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit spectrographic analysis confirming particle size and composition; coarse particles (>4.75mm) may reference statistical notes indirectly
• Label shipments clearly as 'synthetic rutile' with origin certificates to prevent confusion with natural concentrates
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on specific country origins (e.g
• from Ukraine or India); check USTR lists

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.
Chloride-Process Synthetic Rutile Slag
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.
