Zirconium Lab Stirring Rods from China
Zirconium lab stirring rods are corrosion-resistant rods used for stirring in chemical laboratories. They are classified under tariff item 8109.99.00 as other articles of zirconium because they are fabricated articles with a specific use, not covered by the definitions of bars, rods, or wire in Chapter 81 (which require uniform cross-section and no further working).

Import Tips
• Confirm that the rods are not classifiable as laboratory glassware or ceramic ware under Chapter 70 or 69, as they are made of metal
• Provide a product description showing the zirconium material and the specific end-use in laboratories
• If the rods are part of a laboratory stirrer, consider whether they should be classified with the machine under Section XVI
