Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from monazite or other thorium ores
Uranium/thorium ores and concentrates go to Chapter 26, not refined compounds.
If mixed with organic substances or as lab reagent
Organo-inorganic mixtures or prepared chemical reagents fall outside pure Chapter 28 compounds per chapter notes.
If alloyed with fissile materials
Mixtures with fissile elements like enriched uranium classified under fissile headings.
