Customs Clearance of Titanium in Iran | HS Codes 810890 & 810830, Permits, Uses & Required Documents

Titanium Customs Clearance in Iran (HS Codes + Documents & Permits)

Titanium customs clearance  Titanium is one of the most strategic and important metals across global industries. Thanks to its unique physical and chemical properties high corrosion resistance, ideal strength-to-weight ratio, and high melting point titanium is used in aerospace, medical, petrochemical, and automotive industries. These features make titanium a key element in manufacturing sensitive and complex equipment and tools.

1) Technical Properties of Titanium

Outstanding corrosion resistance: A hallmark of titanium is its natural resistance to many corrosive chemicals such as seawater, acids, and alkalis. This makes titanium widely used in marine and chemical industries that face aggressive environments.

High strength-to-weight ratio: With high mechanical strength and low weight, titanium is ideal for applications demanding strength and lightness such as aerospace and automotive. It is lighter than steel yet stronger than many other alloys.

Biocompatibility and inertness in the body: Owing to excellent biocompatibility, titanium is extensively used in medical and dental devices, including implants and prosthetics. The human body tolerates it well and living tissues do not react adversely.

Non-magnetic: Another notable feature is that titanium is non-magnetic—critical for sensitive electronic equipment that requires non-magnetic environments.

2) Titanium Applications Across Industries

Aerospace: Because it is lightweight and heat-resistant, titanium is used in key parts of jet engines, aircraft, and spacecraft. It withstands very high temperatures while maintaining mechanical strength.

Medical & dental: Used in orthopedic implants, dental prosthetics, and surgical instruments. Beyond biocompatibility, its corrosion resistance ensures long implant lifetimes.

Chemical, oil & gas: Its excellent resistance to corrosive media makes titanium suitable for pipes, tanks, and refinery equipment. Titanium equipment endures harsh environments and chemicals.

Automotive: Applied in high-performance parts such as exhaust systems, wheels, and engine components due to heat resistance and low weight.

3) Customs Tariff & HS Codes for Titanium

Customs tariffs for titanium vary by type and form. Accurate identification of HS (Harmonized System) codes is critical to prevent issues during import and clearance. Key HS codes include: HS Code 810890: titanium and semi-finished products (e.g., sheets, bars, and simple forms). HS Code 810830: titanium alloys and more advanced products comprising specific compositions. Using the correct code in the order registration system and during clearance is essential to avoid customs delays.
Goods Short Description HS Code
Titanium & semi-finished products Sheets, bars & simple forms 810890
Titanium alloys & advanced products Specific compositions & grades 810830

Final classification depends on purity, grade, form (sheet/bar/powder), surface coating, packaging, and end use.

4) Key Steps for Titanium Clearance in Iran

Given titanium’s strategic applications, compliance with precise legal requirements is necessary.
Import permits: Depending on type and use, specific permits may be required. For medical or defense applications, permits from the Ministry of Industry, Mine & Trade and the National Standards Organization are typically needed.

Certificate of Origin & Certificate of Analysis: Both are essential. They must specify detailed chemical and physical specifications so customs can verify compliance with standards.

Order registration with MoIMT: All importers must register their orders before import. Accurate HS selection, detailed product specs, and compliance with customs standards are vital.

Chemical/physical testing: In some cases, Iranian customs may request tests from accredited labs to confirm quality. This step is crucial for swift approval.

5) Titanium Exporters to Iran

Titanium is mainly imported from advanced producers. Key sources include: China one of the world’s largest producers/exporters; Russia—with vast resources and advanced technology; Japan with leading titanium/alloy manufacturing; the United States—with advanced industry experience.

6) Titanium Import & Export Volumes in Iran

Iran imports significant volumes of titanium to meet growing demand across aerospace, medical, and chemical sectors. Volumes vary by industrial needs and development projects, but the overall trend has been upward and is likely to continue with industrial and R&D expansion.

7) Global Titanium Market

Thanks to its wide applications and special properties, titanium is a high-turnover metal globally. Production is concentrated in major producers such as China, Russia, and the United States. Global production and consumption are increasing with advanced industrial development and demand for high-performance materials.

8) Global Titanium Exporters & Importers

Global exporters

China large output and technological capability; Russia broad resources and advanced industry; United States advanced production with strong R&D.

Global importers

Germany advanced industries and aerospace requiring high-quality materials; Japan large imports for advanced manufacturing; India rapidly growing industries and infrastructure driving demand.

10) Documents Required for Titanium Clearance

Clearing titanium requires a precise, valid document set to ensure a correct, trouble-free import process.
1. Commercial Invoice
Must include exact product name, quantity, UOM, unit price, total price, buyer/seller details, and sale terms (e.g., Incoterms). Should be in English and validated by the seller.

2. Bill of Lading
Evidence of carriage listing shipper/consignee, type/quantity of goods, and carriage terms. Use Air Waybill for air and B/L for ocean freight.

3. Certificate of Origin
Confirms the manufacturing country; issued by a competent authority (e.g., chamber of commerce) and used for tariffs and import compliance.

4. Certificate of Analysis
Lab-verified chemical and physical results proving conformity to technical specs; should include detailed composition and properties.

5. Import Permits
Depending on type/use, permits may be required from the Ministry of Industry, Mine & Trade, the National Standards Organization, or other bodies.

6. Importer/Seller Identification
Corporate registration, tax ID, and authorized representative IDs to verify parties in customs procedures.

7. Packing List
Detailed package count, type, weight, and dimensions to match with invoice and B/L.

8. Insurance Documents
If insured, provide policy details, insured amount, and terms to mitigate transport risks.

9. Special Documents
For specific uses (e.g., medical/defense), additional international standard certificates or special permits may be required.
