Upgraded Titanium Slag (UTS) 92% TiO2 from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
