8108.90.30.30 - Castings

This HTS subheading, 8108.90.30.30, specifically covers "Castings" made from titanium or its alloys. This includes articles of titanium that have been manufactured through a casting process. Such items are typically formed by pouring molten titanium or titanium alloy into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify. Examples could include intricate components for aerospace, medical implants, or specialized industrial equipment where the unique properties of titanium are leveraged through the casting method.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8108.90.30.60, which covers "Other" articles of titanium, is crucial. While 8108.90.30.30 is limited to items produced via casting, the "Other" category encompasses a broader range of titanium articles not manufactured by casting. This could include wrought products, fabricated articles, or other forms of titanium goods that do not originate from a casting process. Therefore, the method of manufacture is a key differentiator.

As this subheading is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8108.90.30.30 relies directly on the determination that the article is a titanium casting, distinguishing it from other titanium articles by its manufacturing origin.
