Carbon-14 Labeled Urea from Germany
Carbon-14 labeled urea is an organic compound of the radioactive isotope carbon-14, used in biochemical tracer studies and radiometric dating. Although carbon-14 is radioactive, it is not one of the specific elements listed in heading 28.44 (technetium, promethium, polonium, or elements with atomic number greater than 84). Therefore, it falls under this tariff item for isotopes other than those of heading 28.44.

• Verify that the carbon-14 labeled urea is not classified under heading 28.44, as that heading covers only specific radioactive elements
• Provide a safety data sheet and documentation of the specific activity to the CBSA
• Ensure compliance with Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission regulations for radioactive materials
