Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from enriched uranium
Enriched uranium and compounds shift to 2844.20 as they exceed natural isotopic composition per Chapter 28 Note 6.
If in uranium ore form
Unrefined natural uranium ores fall under the specific 'uranium ores' subheading rather than processed compounds.
