Titanium oxides
1 declarable lines
Heading 2823 covers titanium oxides. It has a single declarable line, 2823.00.00.00, for titanium oxides, with a general (MFN) duty rate of 5.5%. There are no separate subheadings for purity, crystal form, or end use.
Products in this heading
- Titanium dioxide powder, pure
- Rutile titanium dioxide powder
- Anatase titanium dioxide powder
- Titanium white, pure TiO2
- Titanium dioxide UV filter powder
- Ceramic-grade titanium dioxide
- Titanium dioxide for coatings
- Titanium dioxide for plastics
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the product is titanium oxide, typically TiO2, rather than an ore, metal, or chloride.
- Check whether it is a single chemical compound or a mixture with pigments, additives, or extenders.
- Confirm the physical form and grade only as needed to describe the goods; the heading has one line.
- Use end use as support for the description, not as a separate tariff subheading.
Often confused with
- Heading 3206Pigment preparations based on titanium dioxide
Mixtures with additives or other colorants are classified as coloring matter, not as a separate oxide.
- Heading 2614Titanium ores and concentrates
Ores are classified in the ores heading, not as refined titanium oxide.
- Heading 8108Titanium metal and titanium articles
The metal and its articles are classified outside chapter 28.
- Heading 2827Titanium tetrachloride
This is a chloride, not a titanium oxide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for titanium dioxide?
Pure titanium dioxide is classified under 2823.00.00.00, with a general (MFN) duty rate of 5.5%.
What is the duty on titanium dioxide?
Titanium oxides under 2823.00.00.00 carry a general (MFN) duty rate of 5.5%.
How do I classify a titanium dioxide pigment?
If the product is titanium oxide itself, classify it under 2823.00.00.00 at 5.5% general (MFN); if it is a pigment preparation mixed with other materials, it is outside this line.
