Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If assembled as golf club parts
Finished or unfinished golf equipment under Chapter 95, not scrap.
If unwrought unalloyed titanium granules
Granular forms before scrap stage classified as unwrought.
If from titanium tooling production
Scrap from machinery/tool production may fall under Chapter 84/85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Dry swarf before shipping to reduce weight/moisture penalties; wet swarf risks hazardous classification
• Certify no beta-titanium alloys; consumer goods scrap often contains trace elements
• Use NAICS codes for sporting goods origin on CBP forms for accurate statistical reporting
