Zirconium Welding Rods from United States
Zirconium welding rods are pure zirconium rods used for TIG welding in nuclear reactor construction. They are classified under tariff item 8109.99.00 as other articles of zirconium because they are fabricated consumables, differentiated from unwrought bars by processing (e.g., cut to length, cleaned, or coated).

Import Tips
• Confirm that the rods are not classifiable as bars or rods under 8109.90.00, as they may have been worked beyond simple trimming or de-scaling
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the zirconium content and any alloying elements
• If the rods are used for nuclear applications, additional permits from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission may be required
