Commercially Pure Titanium Ingots CP-2 from China
CP-2 commercially pure titanium ingots are unwrought forms with minimal interstitial impurities, produced by electron beam melting for corrosion-resistant uses. Under HTS 8108.20.0030, they qualify as unwrought ingots due to their cast, unworked state and titanium-dominant composition. Common in chemical processing equipment and marine hardware.

Import Tips
• Include ASTM B265 or AMS 4921 certifications to prove grade and unwrought status during CBP examination
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'billet' which implies semi-finishing; use 'ingot' for cast forms only
• For alloyed variants, ensure titanium >99% or highest element per Chapter notes to stay in 8108
