Titanium Turnings from Aerospace Machining
Fine titanium shavings and turnings generated during the precision machining of aerospace components like turbine blades. Classified under HTS 8108.30.00.00 as titanium waste and scrap due to being byproduct metal residues not suitable for direct reuse without remelting. Excludes alloys where titanium content is less than 99% by weight.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into powders or flakes
Processed titanium forms like powders fall under waste/scrap articles rather than raw turnings.
If alloyed with iron >1%
Chapter 81 note excludes alloys; ferro-titanium scrap classified as iron/steel waste.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain a certificate of analysis confirming >99% titanium content to avoid reclassification as alloy scrap under Chapter 81 notes
• Declare exact origin and generation process (e.g
• machining waste) on entry docs; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
• Ensure compliance with EPA recycling regs if scrap contains contaminants from industrial use
