HS-6 · Subheading
810921
Zirconium; unwrought, powders, containing less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight
Heading 8109 — Zirconium; articles thereof, including waste and scrap
Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 810921 when importing or exporting unwrought zirconium powders that contain less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight. For example, if you're shipping a batch of zirconium powder used in specialized metal alloys, this is the correct code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers zirconium in its unwrought form, distinguishing it from other forms like zirconium scrap or articles made from zirconium. If you're dealing with zirconium articles or waste, you would need to look at different codes under the same heading.
Zirconium powders classified under this code are often used in high-temperature applications, such as in nuclear reactors or aerospace components, due to their excellent corrosion resistance. It's important to ensure that your product meets the hafnium content requirement to avoid misclassification.
When comparing with HS-6 810922, which covers zirconium powders with a higher hafnium content, make sure to verify the exact composition of your product. Misclassification can lead to delays or additional duties.
