U.S. exports of unwrought zirconium powders (nesoi) (HS 810929) totaled $205K in July 2026.
Unwrought Zirconium Powders (NESOI) imports of $10K in July 2026 ran 96% below the year-to-date monthly average of $274K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCommercial-grade zirconium powders not meeting the low-hafnium nuclear specification are widely used in refractory ceramics, surface coatings, pyrotechnics, and chemical catalysts. Germany leads US imports under this heading, followed by China and Japan. Unlike the nuclear-grade counterpart, these powders are not subject to the same end-use scrutiny, but importers should still confirm the hafnium content ratio to ensure the material is correctly classified here rather than under the low-hafnium heading 810921.

The key distinction is the hafnium content: powders with a hafnium-to-zirconium ratio of 1:500 or greater (i.e., relatively higher hafnium) fall under 810929 (8109290000), while those with less than 1 part hafnium per 500 parts zirconium are classified under 810921. Importers should obtain a certified chemical analysis from the supplier to document the ratio and support the classification at entry.
Fine zirconium powder is classified as a flammable solid under international transport regulations (IMDG/IATA), and shipments must be properly declared and packaged in accordance with those rules. At the US port of entry, CBP may coordinate with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) standards for documentation. Importers should ensure the bill of lading and packing declarations accurately reflect the hazard classification.
