8108.30.00

Analysis

HTS 8108.30.00 covers titanium and articles thereof, including waste and scrap: waste and scrap under heading 8108 (titanium and articles thereof, including waste and scrap).

Neighbouring lines carry rates from 5.5% to 15%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 8108.90.60 (other: other), at 15%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 15 percentage points.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 34% of the 71 tariff lines in chapter 81. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
