Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7106.10.00.00Lower: 35% vs 40%

If silver-plated or precious metal coated

Articles with precious metal coating classify under Chapter 71, superseding base metal.

8108.90.30.60Lower: 30.5% vs 40%

If rolled into plate or sheet

Plate/sheet forms are semi-manufactures under 8108.90.30, requiring working beyond ingot.

2827.39Lower: 13.7% vs 40%

If chemical titanium compounds misdeclared

Chlorides/oxides are Chapter 28 chemicals, not metallic unwrought titanium.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify with ISO 13485 for medical-grade to streamline FDA/CBP clearance alongside tariff classification

Prevent misdeclaration as scrap by including ultrasonic testing reports showing structural integrity

Use NAICS 331491 for statistical reporting; bundle with master alloy certs if blended

Titanium Sponge Ingots

Titanium sponge ingots are porous, unwrought blocks produced by reducing titanium tetrachloride, serving as intermediate forms for further processing into titanium alloys. Classified under HTS 8108.20.0030 as unwrought titanium ingots, excluding powders, they are essential raw material in aerospace and medical industries. Their high purity and reactivity necessitate careful handling during import.

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.

Commercially Pure Titanium Ingots CP-2

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.

Titanium EBCH Ingots

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.
