Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rutile or synthetic rutile titanium ore mixed
Zircon sands with predominant titanium minerals classify under titanium ores heading 2614.
If ground to specification as clay/clay stone
Finely milled zircon for ceramic use may classify as natural clays under heading 2508.
If chemically purified silica-zirconium oxide
Refined zirconium silicate products shift to inorganic chemicals in Chapter 28.
