Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6) Cylinders
Cylinders containing UF6 gas with depleted uranium for enrichment plant feed or conversion. HTS 2844.30.5050 covers 'other' compounds of uranium depleted in U235. Excluded from fissile categories per HTS structure.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If considered hydrogen cyanide derivative (rare)
Chapter notes specify certain carbon compounds in 2811, but UF6 is halogen compound of uranium.
If classified by fluorine content alone
Primary classification follows radioactive uranium, not individual halogen per Chapter 28 notes.
If containing radioactive residues
Residues with >74 Bq/g activity classified separately from pure UF6.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Comply with 10 CFR Part 110 export/import licensing; include UF6 assay certificates; use Type B shipping containers per IAEA regulations
