2844.30.20 - Uranium compounds

This HTS category, 2844.30.20, specifically covers uranium compounds. Within the broader classification of radioactive elements and isotopes, this section focuses on compounds derived from uranium. This includes a wide array of chemical forms of uranium, excluding elemental uranium itself, which would fall under a different sub-heading.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2844.30.10, which pertains to thorium compounds. While both are radioactive elements, this category is solely for compounds of uranium. Additionally, it differs from 2844.30.50, which is a residual category for other radioactive elements and their compounds not otherwise specified.

Further subdivision within 2844.30.20 is provided to account for the specific chemical forms of uranium compounds. The subcategories, such as oxides (2844.30.20.10) and fluorides (2844.30.20.20), allow for more precise classification based on the chemical composition. The "Other" subcategory (2844.30.20.50) captures any uranium compounds not falling into these more specific classifications.
