Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fixed to HEPA filter media as parts
Contaminated filters class as filtration equipment parts, not loose residues.
If uranium-enriched residues predominate
Uranium compound residues have priority subheading classification.
