2827.39.30.00 - Of titanium 🖩

This HTS classification covers inorganic chlorides, chloride oxides, and chloride hydroxides specifically composed of or derived from titanium. These compounds can exist in various forms, including solid, liquid, or gaseous states, and are used in a range of industrial applications. Examples may include titanium tetrachloride, used as a precursor in the production of titanium dioxide pigment and titanium metal, or other titanium-based chloride compounds employed in catalysts or chemical synthesis.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all entries under 2827.39 pertain to "Other chlorides," this specific subcategory isolates those where titanium is the primary metal or defining element. For instance, while chlorides of vanadium (2827.39.10.00), tin (2827.39.25.00), or tungsten (2827.39.40.00) fall under separate sibling classifications, this category is exclusively for titanium-based compounds.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 2827.39.30.00 relies on the definitive presence and significance of titanium as the core component of the chemical compound being classified. Careful examination of the product's chemical composition and documentation is necessary to confirm its titanium content and thereby ensure correct entry into this specific HTS code.
