Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If as other non-hexafluoride compounds from depleted sources
Depleted uranium oxides or other compounds use the general uranium compounds subheading.
If in North American production/transshipment
Certain low-enriched or depleted materials under USMCA may qualify for separate statistical reporting.
If converted to depleted uranium metal
Post-conversion to metallic form shifts to Chapter 81 for other base metals including radioactive.
