Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2844Lower: 12.5% vs 37.5%

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.

2845.10.00.00Same rate: 37.5%

If deuterium or hydrogen isotope (not tritium)

Deuterium and its compounds have dedicated subheading in 2845, separate from 'other' isotopes like tritium.
