Titanium; other than unwrought, n.e.c. in heading no. 8108

HS code 810890 covers a wide range of titanium products, excluding unwrought titanium. Titanium is a versatile and lightweight metal with high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. It finds extensive applications in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and chemical processing, making it a crucial material for the global economy.

Titanium products under HS code 810890 are typically manufactured through processes such as casting, forging, rolling, and machining. These techniques involve melting titanium ore or scrap, shaping the molten metal into desired forms, and then finishing the products through various mechanical and thermal treatments to achieve the required properties and specifications.

The main inputs for the production of titanium products under HS code 810890 include titanium ore or scrap, as well as various alloying elements such as aluminum, vanadium, and iron. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and CNC machines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are required to power the production facilities.

Titanium products classified under HS code 810890 include a wide range of semi-finished and finished goods, such as sheets, plates, bars, rods, wires, and various fabricated parts. These outputs are then consumed by industries like 880000 Aircraft and Spacecraft, 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, 901000 Medical, surgical, dental or veterinary instruments and appliances, and 840000 Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.
