Titanium Trichloride from Mexico
Titanium trichloride (TiCl3), often supplied as a purple solid or solution, serves as a reducing agent in organic synthesis and polymerization catalysis, such as Ziegler-Natta processes. Classified under HTS 2827.39.3000 as 'other chlorides of titanium.' It is highly air-sensitive and typically handled under inert atmosphere.

Import Tips
• Ship under proper UN number (UN 2867) with inert packaging to prevent oxidation; include stability data in documentation
• Provide end-use certificates if destined for research to avoid export control scrutiny under titanium precursor regulations
• Confirm analytical specs (e.g
• 99% purity) to distinguish from commercial mixtures classifiable elsewhere
