Product classification
HS code for Titanium dioxide blend: 3206.19
Colouring matter, pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, containing less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry weight.
Classification of titanium dioxide blend under HS 3206.19
Titanium dioxide blends are classified under HS code 3206.19. This code is part of the heading for coloring matter and preparations based on titanium dioxide. Specifically, 3206.19 is used for preparations that contain less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry matter. These blends often include other pigments, extenders, or carriers and are used extensively in the plastics, ink, and coating industries. The classification is determined by the concentration of the active TiO2 component. Because these are "preparations" rather than pure chemicals, they are excluded from Chapter 28 and placed in Chapter 32. The 80% threshold is a critical legal divider in the Harmonized System, ensuring that diluted or heavily modified pigment preparations are distinguished from high-concentration pigmentary grades.

Codes often confused with 3206.19
Common mistake. This code is most often confused with HS code 3206.11, which is for preparations containing 80% or more titanium dioxide. Importers must have precise laboratory analysis or technical data sheets to prove the weight percentage. It is also sometimes misclassified under 3204 if it is part of a synthetic organic coloring preparation, though 3206 is the correct heading for inorganic-based pigments like titanium dioxide.
Top exporters and importers of HS 320619 (the code used for titanium dioxide blend), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 320619 (the code used for titanium dioxide blend) in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 16% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 9.6% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).

Questions about titanium dioxide blend
What is the HS code for Titanium dioxide blend?
The HS code for Titanium dioxide blend is 320619 (Colouring matter; pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, containing less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry weight). The HS code for a blend containing less than 80% titanium dioxide is 3206.19.
How do I classify Titanium dioxide blend for customs?
Titanium dioxide blend is classified under HS code 320619 — Colouring matter; pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, containing less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry weight. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
How is the 80% concentration calculated?
The percentage is calculated based on the dry weight of the titanium dioxide relative to the total dry weight of the entire preparation.
Which countries are the top exporters of titanium dioxide blend (HS 320619)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 320619 (the code used for titanium dioxide blend) in UN Comtrade data were Germany ($265M, 16% of world exports), France ($157M) and Belgium ($140M). World exports came to about $1.7B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data).
