2844.10.20.25 - Hexafluoride

This HTS category, 2844.10.20.25, specifically classifies hexafluoride compounds of natural uranium. These are chemical compounds where natural uranium is bonded with fluorine, forming a hexafluoride. This classification is crucial for goods containing natural uranium in this particular chemical form.

Within the broader classification of Uranium compounds (2844.10), this subcategory differentiates itself by its chemical structure. It is distinct from its sibling categories, such as "Oxide" (2844.10.20.10), which would cover uranium in an oxide form, and "Other" (2844.10.20.55), which encompasses all other uranium compounds not otherwise specified. The presence of fluorine in a hexafluoride state is the defining characteristic here.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2844.10.20.25. Therefore, the focus is on accurately identifying natural uranium hexafluoride compounds. Examples might include uranium hexafluoride (UF6) itself, which is commonly used in the enrichment of uranium, or other complex hexafluoride compounds involving natural uranium. Classification relies on the precise chemical composition and the presence of natural uranium in this specific hexafluoride structure.
