In August 2026,the Eurasian Economic Commission officially released new preferential tariff policies for raw materials of the titanium industry.Import tariff reductions will be implemented for two years on core raw materials for titanium smelting,which effectively cuts the full-chain production costs of titanium ingots and titanium plates within the region and unlocks incremental market space for titanium materials in Central Asia's petrochemical and high-end equipment manufacturing sectors.
The policy covers two vital raw materials.First, vanadium-aluminum master alloy,an essential material for titanium alloy melting,is granted an annual duty-free import quota of 450 tons exclusively for Kazakhstan, with the policy valid until the end of July 2028.Second,titanium oxide used as an alloy additive will enjoy zero import tariffs uniformly for two years,directly lowering raw material procurement costs for titanium smelters.Relevant authorities stated that tariff exemptions can greatly reduce manufacturing expenses of titanium ingots and titanium billets and boost the overall competitiveness of Eurasian Economic Union titanium products in the global market.
Central Asia boasts a mature titanium smelting industrial base.Meanwhile,local petrochemical expansion and energy equipment projects keep launching,driving steady growth in demand for corrosion-resistant titanium materials and titanium-clad steel plates used in pressure vessels and heat exchangers under sulfur-containing corrosive working conditions.With reduced raw material costs,Central Asian manufacturers will have stronger willingness to purchase titanium materials and upgrade equipment,creating broad import and export trade opportunities.
Leveraging Baoji's complete titanium processing industrial chain,our company supplies high-quality explosion-bonded and roll-bonded titanium-clad steel plates.Our products comply with international standards including ASME and NACE,and full EN 10204 Type 3.2 material test certificates can be provided.As the tariff policy unlocks market dividends in Central Asia,we will continuously optimize foreign trade delivery solutions,steadily supply premium corrosion-resistant titanium materials to chemical and equipment manufacturers across Central Asia,and deeply expand into the new track of Eurasian titanium material trade.
