2844.20.00.10 - Oxide

This HTS category, 2844.20.00.10, specifically classifies *oxide* forms of uranium compounds. This includes various uranium oxides, such as uranium dioxide (UO2) and uranium trioxide (UO3), which are often used in nuclear fuel production or as precursors in other industrial applications. The classification hinges on the chemical compound's structure, where oxygen is bonded to uranium.

This subdivision is distinct from its sibling categories, 2844.20.00.20 (Fluorides) and 2844.20.00.30 (Other). While all fall under "Uranium compounds" within the broader scope of radioactive materials, this category is exclusively for oxides, whereas the "Fluorides" category is for uranium compounds containing fluorine, and "Other" encompasses all remaining uranium compounds not specifically identified as oxides or fluorides.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code depends on confirming the material is a uranium compound and that its chemical composition is an oxide. Any uranium compounds not meeting the definition of an oxide or a fluoride would be directed to the "Other" sibling category.
