2844.10.10.00 - Uranium metal

This category, HTS 2844.10.10.00, specifically covers uranium in its metallic form. This includes pure uranium metal as well as alloys and dispersions where uranium metal is the primary constituent or is presented as a metallic product. It encompasses the raw metallic substance before it is further processed into compounds or specific product forms.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 2844.10.20, which covers uranium compounds. While this node focuses on the elemental metal, 2844.10.20 would include products like uranium oxides, halides, or other chemical derivatives of uranium. The key differentiator is the physical state and chemical form: metallic versus compound.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this heading relies on confirming the product is indeed natural uranium in its metallic form, as opposed to being a compound or other derivative. Examples would include uranium ingots, rods, or wire, provided they meet the criteria for natural uranium content.
