Overview
This HTS classification, 8108.30.00.00, specifically covers waste and scrap of titanium. This includes materials that are no longer fit for their original purpose or are by-products of manufacturing processes involving titanium. Examples include used titanium parts, discarded titanium alloys, machining turnings, shavings, and any other form of titanium material that is considered scrap for recycling or reprocessing.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8108.20.00, which covers unwrought titanium and titanium powders. While both relate to titanium in less finished forms, 8108.20.00 pertains to primary titanium in a raw or powdered state, intended for further fabrication, whereas 8108.30.00.00 is specifically for discarded or used titanium that has reached the end of its initial service life.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 8108.30.00.00. Therefore, the classification relies on the straightforward definition of "waste and scrap" as applied to titanium. Importers and exporters should ensure that the material's condition and origin clearly identify it as waste or scrap of titanium to fall within this specific HTS code.
