Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thorium-based uranyl analog
Thorium compounds have separate statistical suffixes from uranium fluorides.
If in laboratory diagnostic reagents form
Pure compounds remain in Chapter 28; reagent kits may shift to prepared laboratory chemicals.
If natural uranium or thorium ores containing fluorides
Ores/preparations of heading 2612 are classified differently from purified compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label as 'Radioactive Material, Uranyl Fluoride Solution' with appropriate LSA-I or IP-1 packaging per IAEA SSR-6
• Maintain chain-of-custody documentation from supplier showing depletion certification to avoid reclassification
• Beware hydrolysis risk; ensure humidity-controlled transport to prevent uranium oxyfluoride formation
