About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 2844.20.00.20, specifically covers **fluorides** that fall within the broader scope of radioactive chemical elements, isotopes, and their compounds. This includes compounds formed with fluorine by elements such as uranium enriched in U235, plutonium, or other radioactive isotopes falling under heading 2844. These substances are characterized by their radioactive properties and their chemical combination with fluorine.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 2844.20.00.10 covers **oxide** forms of these radioactive compounds, and 2844.20.00.30 encompasses **other** forms not specifically defined as oxides or fluorides, this particular subheading is exclusively for the **fluoride** compounds. Therefore, if the radioactive compound in question is a metal fluoride, such as uranium hexafluoride (UF6), it would be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 2844.20.00.20 is determined by the presence of fluoride ions in combination with the radioactive element or isotope as defined in the parent headings. Practical classification will rely on the declared chemical composition and the known properties of the imported or exported substance.
