2844.41.00.00 - Tritium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing tritium or its compounds

HTS Code 2844.41.00.00 specifically classifies tritium and its compounds, as well as alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products, and mixtures that contain tritium or its compounds. Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. This category is distinct from its siblings, such as 2844.42.00.00 which covers specific named radioactive elements like actinium-225 and californium-253, and 2844.43.00 which addresses other general radioactive elements and isotopes not explicitly listed. It also differs from 2844.44.00.00, which is reserved for radioactive residues.

The primary differentiating factor for 2844.41.00.00 is the presence of tritium. This means that if a product's radioactive component is primarily tritium, whether in its elemental form, as a compound (e.g., tritiated water), or as a constituent of a complex material like an alloy or ceramic, it falls under this classification. The scope extends to include mixtures where tritium or its compounds are present, even if they are not the sole or principal component, provided the classification rules permit. This category serves as a specific designation for materials containing this particular radioactive isotope, ensuring accurate accounting and regulatory compliance for its import and export. As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this code.
