Analysis
HTS 2844.30.20 covers uranium depleted in U235 and its compounds; thorium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing… under heading 2844 (radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Within this group the rate runs from 5% to 5.5%. Compared with 2844.30.10 (uranium depleted in U235 and its compounds; thorium and its…), which pays 5.5%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.5 percentage points.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 29% of the 274 tariff lines in chapter 28, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other lines in the same group are 2844.30.10 (uranium depleted in U235 and its compounds; thorium and its…, 5.5%) and 2844.30.50 (uranium depleted in U235 and its compounds; thorium and its…, 5%).
