Import Tips
• Provide the crucible's dimensions and manufacturing process (e.g
• machined, formed) to show it is a fabricated article, not a simple unwrought product
• If the crucible is used in laboratory equipment, consider whether it might be classified under Section XVIII (instruments) and provide end-use documentation
• Ensure zirconium is the predominant metal by weight per Section Note 7
