Analysis
HTS 2614.00.30 covers titanium ores and concentrates: synthetic rutile under heading 2614 (titanium ores and concentrates).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 97% of the 39 tariff lines in chapter 26. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
The other line in the same group is 2614.00.60 (titanium ores and concentrates: other, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 21229 (Other Metal Ore Mining), an industry of 58 US establishments employing 3,719 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
