Alternative Classifications

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

2844.10Same rate: 30%

If compounds of natural uranium

Uranium compounds (e.g., oxides) rather than pure metal go to compounds subheading.

2612.10.00.00Lower: 25% vs 30%

If uranium ores or concentrates

Uranium ores and pitchblende are classified in Chapter 26 as mineral products.

2844Same rate: 30%

If tritium or mixtures thereof

Mixtures containing radioactive isotopes other than natural uranium shift classification.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include material safety data sheets confirming natural isotopic composition

Use Type B(U) packaging certified for fissile-exempt quantities

Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as depleted uranium which changes classification
