This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If uranium slag/ash residues
Radioactive refining residues classify in Chapter 26 before compound isolation.
If natural UO3
Same compound but natural isotopic content uses 2844.10 subheading.
If non-radioactive antimony oxides
Non-uranium metal oxides fall under 2825; isotopic content determines classification.
