Unmelted Titanium Chips
Unmelted titanium chips are irregular fragments from machining high-purity titanium, considered unwrought due to lack of melting or forming into standard shapes. Under HTS 8108.20.00.95 as 'other' unwrought titanium, excluding scrap, for remelting into ingots. Common in recycling streams for medical-grade titanium.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contaminated or from end-of-life parts
Chips with impurities or from used articles qualify as waste/scrap under 8108.30.
If sized into powders
Processed into powder form shifts to other articles with potential free duty for fittings.
If ferro-titanium alloy
Alloys with iron content over base metal thresholds per Chapter 81 notes go to iron/steel chapters.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Chemical analysis reports essential to prove purity above scrap thresholds per Chapter 81 alloy notes
• Segregate from waste/scrap to prevent down-classification; maintain chain-of-custody records
Related Products under HTS 8108.20.00.95
Titanium Sponge
Titanium sponge is a porous form of unwrought titanium produced by the Kroll process, used as the primary intermediate material for manufacturing titanium mill products like ingots and billets. It falls under HTS 8108.20.00.95 as 'other' unwrought titanium, excluding powders, and is not in a form like bars, rods, or profiles. This classification applies to bulk sponge material imported for further processing in aerospace and medical industries.
Titanium Powder (Coarse)
Coarse titanium powder consists of unwrought titanium particles larger than standard fine powder, used in additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy. Classified under HTS 8108.20.00.95 as 'other' unwrought titanium, it distinguishes from finer powders or wrought forms by its bulk, non-profiled state. Ideal for 3D printing aerospace components.
Titanium Aerogel
Titanium aerogel is an ultra-lightweight, porous unwrought titanium material produced via supercritical drying, retaining high surface area for catalysis and insulation. It qualifies under HTS 8108.20.00.95 as 'other' unwrought titanium, not powders or profiles, due to its bulk aerated structure. Used in advanced thermal barriers for space applications.
Titanium Dendritic Crystals
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.
Beta Titanium Billets (Unwrought)
Beta titanium billets are stabilized alloy unwrought forms (e.g., Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Mo-4Zr) cast but not hot-worked, for aerospace forgings. HTS 8108.20.00.95 as pure titanium equivalent if <99% but dominant base per notes. Distinguishes from wrought bars.
Titanium Shot
Titanium shot consists of small spherical unwrought particles for peening and blasting, not fine enough for powder metallurgy. Classified HTS 8108.20.00.95 'other' unwrought titanium. Enhances fatigue life in turbine blades.
