U.S. imports of ferrotitanium and ferrosilicon titanium (HS 720291) totaled $194K in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Importers of Ferrotitanium and Ferrosilicon Titanium paid $3K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 3.7% on $80K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Ferrotitanium and Ferrosilicon Titanium imports of $194K in April 2026 ran 62% below the year-to-date monthly average of $512K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFerrotitanium and its silicon-bearing counterpart serve primarily as grain-refining and stabilizing additions in stainless, interstitial-free (IF), and high-strength steels, where titanium ties up carbon and nitrogen to prevent sensitization and improve formability. Both forms are classified under a single tariff line (7202910000). Canada leads US import supply — a reflection of North American supply-chain integration — with Latvia and the United Kingdom also significant sources. Under USMCA, Canadian-origin ferrotitanium may qualify for preferential duty treatment, which can be a meaningful cost consideration for procurement teams.

Ferrotitanium is the standard form used for grain refinement and stabilization. Ferrosilicon titanium includes a significant silicon content, which provides simultaneous deoxidation alongside the titanium addition — useful in certain ladle metallurgy sequences where both effects are needed. The choice depends on the target steel chemistry and the melt shop's existing silicon balance.
Titanium recovery in the steel bath is highly sensitive to oxygen and nitrogen levels at the time of addition, typically ranging from 40–70%. Because of this variability, buyers specify ferrotitanium grade (commonly 25–35% Ti or 65–75% Ti) and addition timing carefully. Higher-titanium grades reduce the volume of material needed but require tighter handling to avoid oxidation losses before the alloy reaches the melt.
