Last updated: August 2026 dataTitanium dioxide pigments at or above the 80% threshold on a dry-weight basis are classified under a single US tariff line, 3206110000, and serve as the dominant white pigment in paints, coatings, plastics, and paper. Canada leads US supply, with China a significant secondary source subject to Section 301 tariffs that affect landed cost calculations for buyers. Importers should verify the dry-weight TiO₂ content precisely, as formulations falling below the 80% threshold shift to the NESOI heading 320619, changing both classification and duty treatment.
