Import Tips
• Note that zircon sand is classified as an ore even if used for ceramics, per Chapter 26 Note 2, as long as it is a mineral of metallurgical use
• Report the zirconium metal content in kilograms, not the ZrSiO4 weight
• Ensure the sand has not been processed beyond washing or gravity separation, which would alter classification
