Last updated: August 2026 dataTitanium dioxide (TiO₂), the dominant commercial form under this heading, is the world's most widely used white pigment, providing opacity and brightness in paints, coatings, plastics, paper, and food-contact materials. China is the leading US import source under tariff line 2823000000, and imports from China have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, making scope analysis and ADD/CVD deposit calculations a routine part of entry planning. France, South Korea, and Germany are also significant suppliers, offering chloride-process TiO₂ grades that compete on particle-size consistency and surface-treatment specifications. The chloride versus sulfate production process is a key commercial differentiator affecting pigment performance and environmental compliance profiles.

Yes. The US has maintained antidumping and countervailing duty orders on titanium dioxide from China. Importers must deposit estimated ADD/CVD at the time of entry and are subject to administrative review, which can result in retroactive duty adjustments. Consulting a licensed customs broker or trade attorney before sourcing from China is strongly recommended.
Chloride-process TiO₂ generally achieves tighter particle-size distribution, higher brightness, and better durability in exterior coatings, and it is the dominant technology among Western producers. Sulfate-process TiO₂ is more common among Chinese producers and is often used in plastics and paper applications where the performance premium of chloride-process material is less critical. Specifying the production process in purchase contracts helps ensure the correct grade is supplied and can also be relevant to ADD/CVD scope determinations.
