Zirconium Dioxide Powder (ZrO2)
High-purity zirconium dioxide powder, chemically defined as ZrO2, used primarily in ceramics and refractories. It falls under HTS 2825.60.00.20 as a metal oxide of zirconium, specifically zirconium dioxide, per Chapter 28 notes for inorganic compounds. This powder is stabilized and suitable for high-temperature applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If doped with rare-earth elements for ceramics
Doped zirconium oxide may be classified as a complex metal oxide under rare-earth oxides if chemically modified beyond pure ZrO2.
If imported as a prepared chemical mixture for lab use
Mixtures containing ZrO2 not purely chemically defined fall under chemical preparations rather than individual oxides.
If sintered into finished refractory bricks
Processed into ceramic goods for refractories shifts classification from raw oxide to finished Chapter 69 products.
