Depleted Uranium Metal Ingots
Solid ingots of depleted uranium (DU), primarily U-238 with less than 0.711% U-235, used in radiation shielding and counterweights. Classified under HTS 2844.30.5050 as 'other' compounds and forms of uranium depleted in U235, excluding ores or separated isotopes. This falls in Chapter 28 for chemically defined inorganic compounds of radioactive elements.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing fissile isotopes like U-235 >0.711%
Fissile uranium or plutonium compounds shift to specific fissile heading, excluding depleted forms.
If in form of uranium ores or concentrates
Uranium ores and pitchblende fall under Chapter 26 mineral products, not refined chemical elements.
If radioactive residues from processing
Spent fuel residues or processing waste classified separately from pure depleted uranium compounds.
