HS Code 8108.90 – Titanium; other than unwrought, n.e.c. in heading no. 8108
HS code 8108.90 is the 6-digit subheading for titanium, other than unwrought, n.e.c. in heading no. 8108. It is used for titanium bars, titanium rods, titanium plates, titanium sheets and titanium tubes.
What HS 8108.90 covers
This code covers various forms of titanium that have undergone some processing but are not raw, unrefined titanium (unwrought). This includes semi-finished products like bars, rods, plates, sheets, tubes, and wires, as well as finished articles not elsewhere specified within the broader 8108 heading. These forms of titanium are crucial for industries requiring high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Major importers and exporters are typically advanced industrial nations with strong aerospace, medical device, chemical processing, and automotive sectors. Key things to know involve the specific grades of titanium (e.g., Grade 2, Grade 5/Ti-6Al-4V) and their intended applications, as purity and alloy composition significantly impact value and use. The trade often involves specialized manufacturers and distributors supplying to high-tech end-users, with strict quality control and certification requirements.

Codes often confused with 8108.90
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 810810 (unwrought titanium) if the material's processing stage is ambiguous, or with specific finished articles of titanium classified under other chapters (e.g., medical devices in Chapter 90, aircraft parts in Chapter 88) if they are more than just basic forms.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 810890, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 810890 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 30% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was France, with 15% of world imports.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
