2845.90.01.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 2845.90.01.00, covers "Other" isotopes, excluding those specifically enumerated in heading 2844, and their inorganic or organic compounds. This category acts as a residual for isotopes and their compounds that do not fit into the more precisely defined subheadings within heading 2845. It encompasses a broad range of materials that are enriched in specific isotopes, where that enrichment is not otherwise covered by the preceding subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Heading 2845.10.00.00 specifically enumerates heavy water (deuterium oxide), while 2845.20.00.00 covers boron enriched in boron-10 and its compounds. Similarly, 2845.30.00.00 addresses lithium enriched in lithium-6 and its compounds, and 2845.40.00.00 is reserved for helium-3. Therefore, any isotope or compound thereof that does not fall under these specific designations would be classified under this "Other" residual category, provided it meets the general criteria of being an isotope or a compound of such an isotope.

As this classification is a leaf node, it has no subcategories. Classification within 2845.90.01.00 will depend on whether the imported material is an isotope (other than those of 2844) or a chemically defined inorganic or organic compound of such an isotope, and it does not qualify for any of the more specific enumerations within heading 2845. The key is to ensure that the material is not a radioactive isotope (covered by 2844) and is not heavy water, boron-10 enriched compounds, lithium-6 enriched compounds, or helium-3.
