Zu Unterpositionen 2844 3011 und 2844 3019: An U 235 abgereichertes Uran ist ein Nebenerzeugnis von der Anreicherung des Urans an U 235. Weil es viel billiger und in Mengen verfügbar ist, ersetzt es natürliches Uran, insbesondere als brütbares Material, als Strahlenschirm, als Schwermetall in der Herstellung von Schwungrädern oder in der Zubereitung von absorbierenden Zusammenstellungen (getters k) für die Reinigung bestimmter Gase.

Frequently asked questions
What does customs tariff code 2844 cover?
Code 2844 covers VI. VERSCHIEDENES, Radioaktive chemische Elemente und radioaktive Isotope (einschließlich der spaltbaren und brütbaren chemischen Elemente oder Isotope) und ihre Verbindungen; Mischungen und Rückstände, die diese Erzeugnisse enthalten. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 2844?
TARIC holds no third-country rate of its own for 2844. The rate follows from the declarable commodity code beneath it.
What is the HS code for 2844?
The first six digits form the HS code: 2844. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision.
How many digits does 2844 have?
2844 has four digits and identifies a Harmonised System heading. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code.
Where does 2844 sit in the tariff?
2844 sits in this hierarchy: 28 INORGANIC CHEMICALS; ORGANIC OR INORGANIC COMPOUNDS OF PRECIOUS METALS, OF RARE-EARTH METALS, OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS OR OF ISOTOPES. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 2844?
The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 2844. Comparable cases are found through the parent heading instead.
What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?
An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.
Does customs tariff code 2844 change?
2844 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually.
