HS-6 · Subheading
810931
Zirconium; waste and scrap, 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 810931 when importing or exporting zirconium waste and scrap that contains less than 1 part hafnium for every 500 parts of zirconium by weight. For example, if you're shipping scrap metal from zirconium manufacturing processes, this code applies.
This HS-6 line specifically targets zirconium waste and scrap, distinguishing it from other zirconium products. For instance, HS-6 810932 covers zirconium articles, which may include finished products rather than scrap material.
When dealing with zirconium waste, it’s essential to ensure that the hafnium content meets the specified limit. If your material exceeds this ratio, you might need to consider different classification options.
Zirconium waste can come from various sources, including industrial processes or recycling operations. Proper classification is crucial to avoid customs issues and ensure compliance with regulations.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What materials are classified under HS-6 810931?
- HS-6 810931 covers zirconium waste and scrap that contains less than 1 part hafnium for every 500 parts of zirconium by weight, including shavings, turnings, and recycled materials.
- How can I check the hafnium content in my zirconium scrap?
- You can check the hafnium content through chemical analysis performed by a certified laboratory to ensure compliance with the classification requirements.
- What happens if my zirconium waste exceeds the hafnium limit?
- If your zirconium waste exceeds the hafnium limit, you may need to classify it under a different HS code, potentially leading to different import/export regulations.
- Are there any special import regulations for zirconium scrap?
- Yes, importing zirconium scrap may require specific documentation and compliance with environmental regulations, depending on your country's laws.
- Can I recycle zirconium materials classified under HS-6 810931?
- Yes, zirconium materials classified under HS-6 810931 can be recycled, but you must ensure they meet the hafnium content requirements.
- What types of industries typically generate zirconium waste?
- Industries such as aerospace, electronics, and metal fabrication commonly generate zirconium waste during production and machining processes.
- What documentation is needed for exporting zirconium waste?
- Documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, a packing list, and any required certificates regarding hafnium content and environmental compliance.
- Is there a difference between zirconium scrap and zirconium waste?
- Yes, zirconium scrap generally refers to reusable metal pieces, while zirconium waste may include unusable by-products or remnants from manufacturing processes.
