2844.20.00.50 - Other

This HTS category, 2844.20.00.50, specifically addresses "Other" compounds and mixtures related to uranium enriched in U235, plutonium, and their alloys, dispersions, and ceramic products. It encompasses a broad range of materials that contain these radioactive elements but do not fall into more specific sub-classifications within the broader heading of "Uranium enriched in U235 and its compounds; plutonium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing uranium enriched in U235, plutonium or compounds of these products." This includes, but is not limited to, processed forms, waste materials, or intermediate products that incorporate these fissile or fertile elements.

This classification serves as a residual category for enriched uranium and plutonium-containing materials not otherwise specified. Its sibling category, "Uranium compounds:", focuses exclusively on the chemical compounds of uranium, whereas this category is broader, encompassing not only compounds but also alloys, dispersions, ceramic products, and complex mixtures that may contain enriched uranium or plutonium. The distinction lies in the form and composition of the material, with this category capturing items that are not solely simple chemical compounds.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 2844.20.00.50 relies on a thorough analysis of the material's composition, concentration of enriched uranium or plutonium, and its intended or actual use, ensuring it does not meet the specific criteria for any preceding or more narrowly defined categories within this chapter.
