Titanium Alloy Ingots Grade 5
Grade 5 titanium alloy ingots (Ti-6Al-4V) are unwrought titanium blocks containing 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium, melted via vacuum arc remelting for high-strength applications. They fall under HTS 8108.20.0030 as unwrought titanium ingots, provided the titanium content dominates over other elements. Widely used in aircraft engines and implants due to superior strength-to-weight ratio.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If aluminum content dominates (>99% Al alloy with Ti traces)
Alloys are classified by the metal present in highest weight percentage per Chapter 81 notes, moving to aluminum chapter.
If in molten or semi-processed aluminum-titanium master alloy form
Master alloys for aluminum production are under Chapter 76, not as primary unwrought titanium.
If hot-rolled into slab or bloom shape
Any working beyond casting (e.g., rolling) makes it a semi-finished product under 8108.90.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed alloy composition reports; if non-titanium elements exceed titanium by weight, it shifts to the base metal chapter of the dominant element
• Classify based on end-use documentation if ambiguous, but ingots remain unwrought unless machined or rolled
• Comply with USITC titanium import quotas if applicable; declare INCO terms clearly to assign proper valuation
