Alternative Classifications

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

7210.90.90.00Lower: 35% vs 40%

If steel is predominant material

Clad plates where base metal (steel) dominates fall under Chapter 72, not titanium chapter.

8108.90.60Same rate: 40%

If not flat plate form

Profiles or non-plate shapes of clad titanium go to residual other category.

8479.89.95Lower: 37.5% vs 40%

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit ultrasonic test reports proving titanium-steel bond integrity to avoid delamination claims

Declare as 'titanium plate' with steel substrate details; undervaluing steel content triggers reviews
