If containing radioactive isotopes

Any radioactive content prioritizes classification in 2844 over rare gas headings.

2804.40.00.00Higher: 41.2% vs 28.7%

If not isotopically pure

Xenon gas below 99% isotopic purity falls under other rare gases 2804.40.0000.

3822Lower: 12.5% vs 28.7%

If imported as laboratory reagent mixture

Diagnostic or lab reagent preparations classify in 3822, not pure elements.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Require supplier certificate of analysis confirming Xe-129 enrichment >99% to justify 2804.29.0030 classification

• Comply with EPA import notifications for high-purity gases used in research applications

• Package in certified high-pressure cylinders; declare as 'research gas' to avoid general chemical tariffs
