Titanium Hydride Powder from Japan
Titanium hydride (TiH2) is a chemically defined hydride of titanium used in powder metallurgy and as a hydrogen storage material. It falls under HTS 2850.00.07.00 as a hydride of titanium, distinct from carbides in heading 2849. This fine powder reacts with hydrogen under specific conditions to form the hydride compound.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical purity and provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming it meets 'chemically defined' criteria per Chapter 28/29 notes
• Ensure SDS includes hydride reactivity data to avoid misclassification as a hazardous material under DOT regulations
• Declare exact titanium content and hydride form; common pitfall is confusion with titanium carbide powders
