  "summary": "HS code 2844.50 covers spent (irradiated) fuel elements (cartridges) of nuclear reactors. It sits in 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) in chapter 28 (inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes). Other goods of heading 28.44 are classified under 2844.10 (natural uranium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing natural uranium or natural uranium compounds), 2844.20 (uranium enriched in U 235 and its compounds; plutonium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing uranium enriched in U 235, plutonium or compounds of these products), 2844.30 (uranium depleted in U 235 and its compounds; thorium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing uranium depleted in U 235, thorium or compounds of these products), 2844.41 (radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds other than those of subheading 2844 10, 2844 20 or 2844 30; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements, isotopes or compounds; radioactive residues, tritium and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products or mixtures containing tritium or its compounds) and 3 others. National tariff lines under 2844.50 are live on border.bot for the United States (1 line, also used by 1 other country).",
