Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further refined into titanium oxides
Titanium oxides produced chemically are inorganic chemicals in Chapter 28.
If containing primarily manganese
Manganese-bearing slags have separate subheadings within 2620.
If used as refractory material
Refractory cements/mixtures with slags may classify under 3816 if prepared for that end use.

High-Titanium Ilmenite Slag
A byproduct slag from ilmenite smelting containing over 40% titanium by weight, primarily used as feedstock for titanium dioxide production. It meets HTS 2620.99.5000 criteria as it has low levels of recoverable copper, lead, or zinc under 2%. This classification applies to slags not from iron/steel manufacture and intended for metal extraction or chemical compound production.
Titaniferous Slag from Electric Arc Furnace
Slag generated in electric arc furnaces processing titanium-rich materials, assaying over 40% titanium oxide. Suitable for industrial recovery of titanium without treatment for base metals due to low Cu/Pb/Zn. Classified under 2620.99.5000 as other non-iron/steel slags for metal extraction.
Ti-Slag from Plasma Furnace
Titanium-enriched slag produced via plasma arc reduction of ilmenite, with >40% titanium content and minimal base metals. Used as basis for titanium chemical compounds, not for Cu/Pb/Zn recovery. Meets precise 2620.99.5000 subheading requirements.
Leucoxene Slag Residue
High-grade titanium slag from leucoxene (altered ilmenite) processing, exceeding 40% TiO2 equivalent. Not treated for base metal recovery; destined for titanium metal or pigment production. Classified in 2620.99.5000 per chapter notes for metal-extraction residues.
