U.S. exports of Wrought Titanium and Titanium Articles (SITC 69985) totaled $226.5M in August 2026.

Last updated: August 2026 dataWrought titanium and fabricated titanium articles occupy a critical position in aerospace, medical implant, and chemical processing supply chains, where the metal's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance command premium pricing. Mill products such as sheet, plate, bar, and tube, along with finished components not elsewhere specified, fall under this heading. Aerospace-grade titanium is subject to rigorous material certifications (AMS and ASTM standards) that buyers must verify at import, and certain wrought forms from specific origins have faced antidumping scrutiny in US proceedings.

Aerospace-grade wrought titanium generally must conform to AMS or ASTM specifications, and importers are expected to obtain mill test reports (MTRs) and certificates of conformance from the foreign producer. Buyers should confirm that the certifying laboratory is accredited and that documentation accompanies the shipment to satisfy both customer quality requirements and customs entry.
Wrought titanium has been mechanically worked (rolled, drawn, forged, or extruded) into a semi-finished or finished form with defined dimensions and properties, whereas scrap consists of irregular pieces without controlled geometry. Misclassification between wrought product and scrap can affect applicable duty rates and any trade-remedy exposure, so importers should retain producer documentation confirming the manufacturing process.
