## How it is structured

2844.10 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 28, are the chapter; the first four, 2844, are heading 28.44; the last two, 10, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes
- Heading 28.44: Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes) and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products
