Argon-38 Enriched Gas
Argon-38 is a stable isotope of argon, enriched for use in geological age dating and tracer studies. It is a separate chemical element that is not radioactive, so it does not fall under heading 28.44. This tariff item covers isotopes other than those of heading 28.44 and their compounds.
Carbon-14 Labeled Urea
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.
Deuterium Oxide (Heavy Water, D2O)
Deuterium oxide, also known as heavy water, is a compound of the stable hydrogen isotope deuterium. It is used as a moderator in nuclear reactors and in various scientific applications. Since deuterium is not a radioactive isotope, it is excluded from heading 28.44 and falls under this tariff item for compounds of isotopes other than those of heading 28.44.
Helium-3 Gas
Helium-3 is a rare stable isotope of helium, used in cryogenics, neutron detection, and quantum computing. It is not a radioactive isotope, so it is not classified in heading 28.44. This tariff item covers isotopes other than those of heading 28.44, including helium-3.
Krypton-86 Gas Standard
Krypton-86 is a stable isotope of krypton, used as a wavelength standard in laser metrology and spectroscopy. It is not radioactive and therefore not classified under heading 28.44. This tariff item covers isotopes other than those of heading 28.44.
Lead-208 Enriched Target
Lead-208 enriched target is a stable isotope of lead, used in nuclear physics experiments and isotope production. It is not radioactive and does not fall under heading 28.44. This tariff item covers isotopes other than those of heading 28.44.
