Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the powder is classified as waste or scrap
Zirconium waste and scrap have a separate tariff item under the same heading.
If the powder is processed into articles (e.g., sintered parts)
Articles of zirconium, other than unwrought or waste, fall under a different item.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the powder meets the definition of 'powders' in Section XV Note 8(b) (90% or more passes through a 1 mm sieve) to qualify as unwrought
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing zirconium content and particle size distribution to the CBSA
• Verify if the end-use in aerospace components triggers any additional permits from Transport Canada
