Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Powder (30% Y2O3) from China

A fine powder composed of zirconium oxide stabilized with approximately 30% yttrium oxide equivalent, used in manufacturing high-strength ceramics for dental implants and engine components. It falls under HTS 2846.90.40.00 because it is a yttrium-bearing material containing between 19% and 85% yttrium oxide equivalent by weight, classified as a compound of rare-earth metals including yttrium. This intermediate concentration distinguishes it from higher-purity rare earth compounds.

Import Tips

Verify yttrium oxide equivalent content via certified lab analysis to confirm 19-85% range; provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) for hazardous classifications

Ensure declaration matches exact composition to avoid reclassification to 2846.90.20 or 2846.90.80

Common pitfall: mislabeling as pure zirconia, triggering Section XV duties
