What is the U.S. tariff rate on titanium and tungsten?

USITC calculated duties imply an effective rate of 10.67% in Jun 2026 (calculated duties ÷ covered customs value, USITC DataWeb). The parseable Column 1 General line-rate range is 0%–15%; individual lines are called “Free” only when the official General field is literally Free, and product, origin, preference and tariff mix can contribute to the observed-rate difference.

What are the statutory MFN line rates for titanium and tungsten?

The parseable Column 1 General line-rate range is 0%–15% across the family's 10 eight-digit HTS lines in the 2026 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (headings 8101, 8108). “Free” means the official General field is literally Free for a line; it does not determine final entry liability.

Titanium and Tungsten: Statutory & Effective Tariff Rates

USITC Column 1 General rates for 10 titanium and tungsten HTS lines (parseable range 0%–15%). Effective rate Jun 2026: 10.67%; monthly history since 2014.

The short answer

The observed effective calculated-duty rate on U.S. imports of titanium and tungsten was 10.67% in Jun 2026, up from 10.29% a year earlier — USITC Calculated Duties divided by covered customs value. The Column 1 General line-rate range is 0%–15% across 10 HTS lines in the 2026 schedule; individual lines are called “Free” only when the official General field is literally Free, which still does not determine a shipment’s final duty. Japan is the largest source, holding 28.9% of 2025 imports.

Statutory rates from the schedule

Titanium and tungsten mill products — light, strong, and high-temperature metals for aerospace frames, tooling, and wear parts. This family covers HTS headings 8101, 8108: 10 eight-digit rate lines with a parseable Column 1 General range of 0%–15% in the 2026 schedule. “Free” means the official General field is literally Free for that line; it does not determine final entry liability.
Chapter 99 references on individual lines (for example, 9903.90.09) identify provisions to review; applicability and any additional duty depend on the entry facts.
