U.S. imports of unwrought titanium and titanium powders (HS 810820) totaled $43.0M in July 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Unwrought Titanium and Titanium Powders paid $5.4M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $33.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Unwrought Titanium and Titanium Powders imports of $43.0M in July 2026 ran 25% above the year-to-date monthly average of $34.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTitanium sponge, ingots, and powders — the primary feedstocks for aerospace, medical-implant, and industrial applications — enter the US under five distinct 10-digit lines: sponge (8108200010), powders (8108200015), ingots (8108200030), and two residual unwrought categories (8108200090 and 8108200095). Japan and Kazakhstan are the leading import sources, together representing the dominant global sponge-production capacity outside China. Titanium's designation as a critical mineral and its extensive use in defense aerospace make supply-chain provenance documentation increasingly important, and importers should be aware that Section 232 national-security reviews have historically encompassed specialty metals.

Titanium sponge (8108200010) is the primary reduced form produced by the Kroll process — a porous, irregular mass that has not been melted into a consolidated shape. Ingots (8108200030) are sponge or scrap that has been vacuum-arc or electron-beam melted into a solid cylindrical form ready for further working. Both are 'unwrought,' but they classify under separate 10-digit lines, so the production stage documented on the mill certificate determines the correct entry.
For titanium destined for aerospace or defense applications, importers and downstream processors typically require a certified mill test report (CMTR) confirming chemical composition and compliance with applicable ASTM or AMS specifications. Additionally, given evolving US policy on critical-mineral supply chains, maintaining clear records of country of origin, smelter identity, and processing history is advisable to support any future regulatory or customer due-diligence requirements.
