Tritium Gas (HT)
Tritium gas, the radioactive isotope of hydrogen (HT), used in nuclear research and fusion experiments. Classified under HTS 2845.90.0100 as an isotope other than those in heading 2844, specifically a non-heading 2844 isotope in gaseous form.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specific radioactivity exceeds 74 Bq/g
High-activity isotopes including artificial ones fall under 2844 per chapter note, shifting from 'other isotopes' in 2845.
If deuterium or hydrogen isotope (not tritium)
Deuterium and its compounds have dedicated subheading in 2845, separate from 'other' isotopes like tritium.
