Last updated: July 2026 dataRecovered titanium metal in the form of turnings, borings, clippings, and other scrap is a critical secondary feedstock for aerospace alloy producers and specialty metal recyclers. The United Kingdom and Japan are the leading US suppliers under this heading, reflecting the concentration of titanium fabrication activity in those countries' aerospace and industrial sectors. Classification at the single 10-digit line 8108300000 is straightforward, but importers should confirm that material meets the compositional thresholds distinguishing titanium scrap from mixed or contaminated alloy waste, which may shift classification elsewhere.

Unalloyed titanium scrap and titanium-alloy scrap both fall under heading 8108, but the key classification question is whether the material is predominantly titanium metal versus a mixed or base-metal scrap. Importers should verify mill certifications or chemical analysis reports to support the declared classification, particularly when material contains significant amounts of aluminum, vanadium, or other alloying elements.
While titanium scrap is not itself a controlled munitions item, certain high-purity or aerospace-grade titanium materials can attract scrutiny under export control regimes in the country of origin. Importers should request documentation from the foreign supplier confirming the material was lawfully exported, and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm no additional US import restrictions apply to the specific grade or form.
