HTS heading 8108 is a broad product category for titanium and articles made of titanium. It can include unwrought titanium, titanium waste and scrap, powders, bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes, pipes, and other finished or partly finished articles, depending on the more detailed subheadings. The heading groups goods by their material and form; it does not by itself identify the final tariff treatment.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s exact condition and physical form, then follow the relevant 6-digit and 8-digit subheadings. The classification may depend on whether the item is unwrought, waste or scrap, a specific mill product, a tube or pipe, or another article, as well as technical distinctions such as alloy or non-alloy titanium, dimensions, and how the product is made or used. Confirm the wording and legal notes in the current HTSUS, and seek a customs broker or binding ruling when the facts are unclear.
What to check
- Describe the goods precisely: identify titanium content, alloy status, dimensions, shape, finish, and whether the goods are new, used, or waste and scrap.
- Separate raw material and mill products from finished articles; do not classify an item solely by its intended use if the tariff text focuses on its material or form.
- Compare every candidate 8-digit subheading and read its exclusions, statistical breakouts, and unit-of-measure requirements.
- Keep product specifications, engineering drawings, invoices, and composition or recycling records that support the selected classification.
- Verify the current HTSUS entry and obtain customs-broker advice or a binding classification ruling when a technical distinction could change the code.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
