Titanium Dendritic Crystals from Japan
Titanium dendritic crystals are branched, unwrought structures grown via vapor deposition, used as precursors for high-purity alloys. Classified in HTS 8108.20.00.95 as 'other' unwrought titanium, distinct from powders by crystalline bulk form. Applied in semiconductor and nuclear reactor components.

Import Tips
• Spectrographic purity certificates critical to distinguish from alloys (<99% Ti per Chapter 81 notes)
• Handle as sensitive material; ESD-safe packaging for electronics-adjacent imports
• Avoid declaring as 'articles' if bulk; CBP rulings emphasize unwrought state
