Aerospace Zirconium Alloy Borings from Mexico
Fine borings generated from drilling zirconium components used in aircraft engines. These are classified as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00 because they are fragmented, not usable as original articles, and contain less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight, making them suitable for remelting into high-purity alloys.

Import Tips
• Ensure the borings are accompanied by a certificate of analysis confirming hafnium content below the 1:500 ratio to avoid reclassification
• Declare the goods as waste and scrap, not as articles, to qualify for this tariff item
• Verify if the borings contain any radioactive contamination, as this could trigger additional CBSA or CNSC requirements
