Zirconium Oxychloride
Zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2·8H2O) is a chloride oxide of zirconium used in water treatment, textile processing, and as a precursor for zirconia ceramics. It falls under HTS 2827.49.5000 as an 'other' chloride oxide, distinct from specific chlorides like aluminum or calcium chloride oxides.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified primarily as a zirconium chloride without oxide component
Pure chlorides of zirconium fall under 2827.39, while oxychlorides are specifically chloride oxides in 2827.49.
If imported as a mixed chemical preparation or solution for industrial use
Mixtures exceeding single compound purity thresholds shift to Chapter 38 for chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification under Chapter 28 as a chemically defined compound
• Obtain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and ensure HAZMAT shipping compliance due to corrosive nature
• Avoid misclassification as a metal salt; provide certificates proving it's a chloride oxide
