Duty Rate (from China)
Products classified under Tariff item 2844.50.00.00
AGR Spent Fuel Cartridges
> Spent graphite-moderated fuel cartridges from Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGR), containing irradiated uranium oxide pins sealed in steel tubes. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 because they are radioactive residues from reactor operation and are not covered by other headings in Chapter 28.
2844.50.00BWR Spent Fuel Bundles
> Spent fuel bundles from boiling water reactors (BWRs), consisting of 8x8 or 9x9 arrays of irradiated fuel rods encased in stainless steel channels. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, falling under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues from reactor operation, with no other heading in Chapter 28 applying.
2844.50.00CANDU Spent Fuel Bundles
> Spent natural uranium fuel bundles from CANDU heavy-water reactors, featuring a 37-element design in stainless steel. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, since they are irradiated and no other Chapter 28 heading applies.
2844.50.00Fast Breeder Spent Fuel Pins
> Mixed plutonium-uranium oxide pins from fast breeder reactors, post-irradiation, containing high actinide levels. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, as they are spent and not covered by other headings.
2844.50.00MOX Spent Fuel Elements
> Mixed oxide (MOX) fuel elements, combining plutonium and uranium oxides, irradiated in reactors. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, given their high radioactivity and spent status.
2844.50.00RBMK Spent Fuel Channels
> Irradiated fuel channels from RBMK reactors, loaded with uranium dioxide bundles in zirconium channels. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, as they are spent and not covered by other headings.
2844.50.00Research Reactor Spent Fuel Elements
> Plate-type or rod-type spent fuel from research reactors, irradiated for isotope production, such as HEU or LEU MTR fuel. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, regardless of non-power use.
2844.50.00Uranium Dioxide Spent Fuel Rods
> Irradiated uranium dioxide (UO2) fuel rods extracted from nuclear reactors after use, containing fission products and actinides. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, as they are spent and not covered by other headings.
2844.50.00VVER Spent Fuel Assemblies
> Irradiated fuel assemblies from Russian-designed VVER reactors, featuring hexagonal fuel pins with uranium-erbium oxide. These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, as they are spent and not covered by other headings.
2844.50.00Zirconium-Clad Spent Fuel Assemblies
> Complete spent fuel assemblies with zirconium alloy cladding containing irradiated uranium fuel pins, used in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). These are spent (irradiated) fuel elements of nuclear reactors, classified under tariff item 2844.50.00 as radioactive residues, as they are spent and not covered by other headings.
