Products classified under HTS 2804.29.00.10
Liquid Helium for Cryogenic Research
Cryogenically liquefied helium (-269°C) in insulated dewars for superconductivity experiments and dilution refrigerators. Remains under HTS 2804.29.0010 as the elemental rare gas in liquid state.
Helium Gas Cylinder
Compressed helium gas in a high-pressure steel cylinder, used for inflating balloons and industrial applications. Classified under HTS 2804.29.0010 as pure helium, a rare gas in gaseous form meeting Chapter 28 definitions for chemically defined nonmetals.
High-Purity Helium for MRI Machines
Ultra-pure helium (99.999%) supplied in cryogenic dewars for cooling superconducting magnets in medical MRI scanners. Falls under HTS 2804.29.0010 as a chemically defined rare gas used in its elemental gaseous state.
Party Balloon Helium Canister
Disposable helium canister (14.9 cu ft) for inflating latex balloons at events, containing 99.99% pure helium. Classified in HTS 2804.29.0010 as elemental rare gas, not a mixture or preparation.
Industrial Welding Helium Shielding Gas
