Products classified under HTS 2844.10.20
Uranium Dioxide Powder (UO2)
Uranium dioxide (UO2) is a chemically defined compound of natural uranium used primarily as the main fuel material in nuclear reactors. It falls under HTS 2844.10.20 as a natural uranium compound, distinct from processed or enriched forms. This black powder is sintered into fuel pellets for power generation.
Uranyl Nitrate Hexahydrate Crystals
Uranyl nitrate hexahydrate (UO2(NO3)2·6H2O) is a yellow crystalline compound of natural uranium used in nuclear fuel processing and as a chemical reagent. Classified under HTS 2844.10.20 for natural uranium compounds; it meets chemical definition per Chapter 28 notes. Primarily imported for conversion to uranium dioxide.
Uranium Tetrafluoride Powder (UF4)
Uranium tetrafluoride (UF4), or green salt, is a key intermediate compound in natural uranium processing for enrichment. It qualifies under HTS 2844.10.20 as a chemically defined natural uranium compound per Chapter 28/29 notes. Used to produce uranium hexafluoride for gaseous diffusion.
Ammonium Diuranate Precipitate
Ammonium diuranate ((NH4)2U2O7) is a yellow precipitate from uranium ore processing, serving as an intermediate for fuel fabrication. Falls under HTS 2844.10.20 as a natural uranium compound meeting inorganic compound criteria. Converted thermally to uranium oxides.
Triuranium Octoxide (U3O8) Yellowcake
Yellowcake, or U3O8, is the primary commercial form of natural uranium concentrate from ore milling. Classified in HTS 2844.10.20 as a natural uranium compound; it's the starting material for the nuclear fuel cycle. Typically 70-90% U3O8 content in powder form.
Uranium Metal Turnings
Machining turnings of natural uranium metal recovered from fabrication scrap. Though elemental, classified under HTS 2844.10.20 when in compound-like forms or mixtures per hierarchy for natural uranium products. Used for recycling into fuel.
Sodium Diuranate Solution
Aqueous solution of sodium diuranate (Na2U2O7) used in uranium purification processes. Meets HTS 2844.10.20 as chemically defined natural uranium compound of inorganic base. Imported in sealed containers for fuel cycle chemistry.
