Titanium Nitride Powder (TiN) from Japan
Titanium nitride (TiN) is a refractory ceramic material used for coatings, cutting tools, and wear-resistant parts due to its high hardness. Classified under HTS 2850.00.07.00 as a chemically defined nitride of titanium, separate from carbides. The golden-colored powder is applied via PVD or CVD processes.

Import Tips
• Provide XRF or XRD analysis proving nitride composition to distinguish from titanium oxides or carbides
• Check for REACH/SVHC compliance if destined for EU re-export; label particle size to avoid respirable dust issues
• Avoid declaring as 'titanium powder' which could lead to Chapter 81 misclassification
