Heavy Water (Deuterium Oxide) D2O 99.9% Purity
Heavy water, chemically known as deuterium oxide (D2O), is water enriched with deuterium isotopes, classified under HTS 2845.10.00.00 as an isotope compound other than those in heading 2844. It is used primarily in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator due to its unique isotopic properties.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If derived from radioactive isotopes or elements with atomic number >84
Compounds of radioactive isotopes fall under heading 2844, prioritizing radioactive elements over stable isotopes like deuterium.
If mixed with cyanogen or other complex non-metallic compounds
Chapter notes specify certain isotope compounds with cyanogen derivatives classify in 2853, not as standalone isotopes.
