Zirconium Sponge from Germany
Zirconium sponge is porous zirconium metal produced by reducing zirconium tetrachloride with magnesium, used as an intermediate for manufacturing zirconium products. It is classified under tariff item 8109.99.00 as other articles of zirconium because it is not covered by the specific forms in Chapter 81 and is not waste or scrap.

• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the zirconium content and impurities
• If the sponge is used for nuclear applications, additional permits from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission may be required
