Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If natural uranium or enriched
Natural uranium compounds use 2844.10; depleted specifically in 2844.30.
If tungsten alloyed for non-radioactive use
DU-tungsten composites for civilian counterweights may classify under tungsten articles if radiation negligible.
If as spent nuclear fuel residues
Irradiated residues from reactors fall under 2844.50 for radioactive residues.
