2844.30.50.10 - Uranium metal

This HTS category, 2844.30.50.10, specifically classifies uranium metal. This includes pure uranium metal in various forms, such as ingots, powders, or fabricated shapes, that have not undergone further processing into alloys, compounds, or specific articles beyond the basic metal form. It falls under the broader classification of radioactive elements and their compounds.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 2844.30.50.50 ("Other"), by its specificity. While the sibling covers a broader range of "other" materials within the same parent grouping, 2844.30.50.10 is reserved for the distinct product of uranium metal itself. This focus ensures accurate tariff application for raw or primary uranium metal.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 2844.30.50.10 is determined solely by the presence of uranium metal as the primary component, excluding any compounds, alloys, or finished products that would be classified elsewhere under Chapter 28 or subsequent chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
