Research Grade Neon Isotope
Enriched neon-20 isotope gas for nuclear physics research, still classified as neon under HTS 2804.29.0020 unless radioactive (which falls to 2844).
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If artificially enriched to radioactive levels
Radioactive isotopes explicitly covered by 2844 regardless of element.
If spent neon from particle accelerators
Irradiated materials with radioactivity fall under 2845.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Stable isotopes don't need NRC license, but declare enrichment level accurately
• University importers use duty-free provisions under HTSUS Chapter 98 for research
• Radioactive neon isotopes (>74 Bq/g) strictly go to 2844 per Chapter note 4
