Scrap zirconium with a hafnium-to-zirconium ratio below 1:500 by weight represents recoverable nuclear-grade material from fuel fabrication, cladding tube manufacturing, and reactor component machining. Germany and Canada are the primary US suppliers under this heading. Because even scrap from nuclear applications can carry residual radioactivity or be subject to material control and accounting requirements, importers should verify the material's radiation status and any applicable NRC or DOE documentation before arranging entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Suppliers should provide a radiation survey certificate or release document confirming the material meets unconditional release standards (typically expressed in terms of surface contamination and dose rate limits). If the scrap originated from a licensed nuclear facility, the exporting country's nuclear regulatory authority may also require a release authorization. CBP may refer shipments to the NRC or DOE if documentation is incomplete.
For scrap, the original mill or fabrication certification may not fully reflect the composition of mixed or commingled material. CBP can require chemical analysis of the actual imported lot, particularly if the scrap is a blend of turnings or clippings from multiple sources. Importers should request a lot-specific analysis rather than relying solely on the original product specification.
