Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing metal compounds like titanates
Hydrides or other metal compounds prepared chemically go to 2850.
If under 40% titanium
Lower titanium slags remain in broader 2620.99 but different subheading.
If ferroalloys with titanium
Ferro-titanium alloys are iron-based and classify in Chapter 72.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use independent lab certification for %Ti and impurities to prevent duty disputes
• Document non-treatment intent for base metals explicitly in commercial invoice
• Ensure no iron/steel manufacture link to avoid 2618 reclassification

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.
Synthetic Rutile Process Slag
Residue slag from the synthetic rutile upgrading process of ilmenite, rich in titanium (>40% by weight). Low in recoverable copper, lead, zinc; used directly in chloride-process TiO2 pigment manufacture. Fits 2620.99.5000 for titanium-rich industrial slags.
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.
