2614Titanium ores and concentrates

Chapter 26: Ores, slag and ash

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 2614 when importing titanium ores and concentrates, such as rutile or ilmenite, which are essential for producing titanium metal and alloys. For example, a shipment of ilmenite from Australia to the U.S. would fall under this code.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, note that 261400 specifically covers all titanium ores and concentrates. If you're shipping a product that contains titanium but is processed or mixed with other materials, you may need to consider different headings.

The distinction between HS-4 2614 and other headings in Chapter 26 is clear: this heading is strictly for titanium ores. If your product is a different type of mineral or metal, you will need to look at the relevant HS-4 codes for those materials.
