Titanium EBCH Ingots from China
Electron Beam Cold Hearth Melted (EBCH) titanium ingots are high-purity unwrought blocks refined to remove high-density inclusions for critical aerospace parts. Classified in HTS 8108.20.0030 as unwrought titanium ingots, their production process ensures uniformity without working. Ideal for rotating components like turbine blades.

Import Tips
• Provide EBCH process documentation; CBP may require proof it's not double-melted into semi-finished form
• Declare exact melting method to distinguish from VAR ingots, aiding uniform duty application
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain titanium from specific countries; check USTR lists
