Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2844Lower: 10% vs 28.7%

If radioactive isotopes are present

Radioactive isotopes or their compounds fall under heading 2844 regardless of purity or gas form.

2804.29.00Same rate: 28.7%

If natural isotopic mixture

Mixtures not isotopically pure (less than 99% single isotope) classify as other rare gases in 2804.29.0010.

3818.00.00Higher: 50% vs 28.7%

If doped for electronic use and cut into wafers/discs

Doped chemical elements in wafer/disc form shift to heading 3818 for semiconductor materials.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify isotopic purity certification from supplier exceeding 99% by volume to meet HTS 2804.29.0030 criteria

Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and ensure compliance with DOT regulations for compressed gas transport

Avoid misclassification as standard helium (2804.29.0010); declare isotopic composition accurately to prevent audits
