Zirconium Borings from Mexico
Zirconium borings are fine drill chips and residues generated during the machining of zirconium components, particularly in nuclear reactor fabrication. These materials are classified as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 because they are not usable as finished articles and do not meet the definitions of unwrought zirconium or other specific forms.

Import Tips
• Ensure borings are free of contaminants like oil or other metals to avoid reclassification
• Provide a mill certificate or analysis confirming zirconium content
• Declare the material as waste and scrap for recycling, not as a finished product
