Zirconium Heat Exchanger Plates from Germany
Zirconium heat exchanger plates are plates designed for use in plate-type heat exchangers in acidic environments. They are classified under tariff item 8109.99.00 as other articles of zirconium because their specialized shape and function (e.g., with gaskets, ports, or corrugations) go beyond the definition of plates, sheets, strip, or foil in Chapter 81.

Import Tips
• Ensure the plates are not classifiable as parts of heat exchange units under heading 84.19, as they may be considered parts of machinery
• Provide engineering drawings and a description of the specific design features that make them articles rather than semi-finished plates
• Check if the plates qualify for duty-free treatment under the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries program
