Zirconium Evaporation Boats from United States
Zirconium evaporation boats are fabricated zirconium containers used for thermal evaporation in thin-film deposition processes, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. They are classified under tariff item 8109.99.00 as other articles of zirconium because their specialized shape and function distinguish them from plates, sheets, or other semi-finished forms.
