2804.29.00.10 - Helium

This HTS category, 2804.29.00.10, specifically covers Helium. Helium is a noble gas, known for its extremely low boiling point and inert chemical properties. In its classification context, it falls under Chapter 28, which deals with inorganic chemicals, and more specifically under the heading for hydrogen, rare gases, and other nonmetals. Within the rare gases subgroup, Helium is distinguished by its unique atomic structure and widespread industrial and scientific applications.

This classification is differentiated from its siblings by the specific element it represents. While 2804.29.00.20 covers Neon, another rare gas, and 2804.29.00.30 addresses isotopically pure rare gases with a high degree of purity, this particular subcategory is exclusively for Helium in all its forms and purities. The sibling category 2804.29.00.55 encompasses other rare gases not specifically enumerated elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification for Helium is thus definitive at this level, meaning that any product classified as Helium will be assigned this specific code. This ensures precise identification for customs purposes, facilitating accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
