Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fully fabricated into complete fuel assemblies
Assembled fuel rods and elements are finished ceramic nuclear reactor products in Chapter 69.
If alloys of enriched uranium rather than pure oxide ceramics
Uranium alloys like U-Mo are under the enriched uranium alloys subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit Form 741 for nuclear material import tracking through Nuclear Material Management System
• Criticality control documents required for packages exceeding 5g U235
• Avoid declaring as 'finished fuel' which shifts classification and licensing
