About isotopes other than those of heading no. 2844; compounds, inorganic or organic, of such isotopes, whether or not chemically defined

HS code 2845 covers a diverse range of isotopes and their compounds, excluding those classified under heading 2844. These isotopes have a wide range of applications in various industries, from medical diagnostics and treatment to scientific research and nuclear technology. The production and trade of these specialized materials play a crucial role in the global economy, supporting advancements in fields such as healthcare, energy, and scientific exploration.

Production process

The production of isotopes and their compounds under HS code 2845 typically involves complex separation and purification processes. Common techniques include gaseous diffusion, centrifugation, and electromagnetic separation, which are used to isolate the desired isotopes from natural sources or spent nuclear fuel. The resulting isotopes are then combined with other elements, either inorganic or organic, to create a wide range of specialized compounds.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2845 materials include radioactive source materials, such as uranium or plutonium, as well as specialized equipment and facilities for handling and processing these materials. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled personnel, including nuclear scientists, engineers, and technicians, to operate the complex production processes safely and efficiently.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 2845 include a diverse range of isotopes and their compounds, which find applications in various industries. These materials may be used in 2844 (Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes) and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products), 3822 Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, other than those of heading 3002 or 3006; certified reference materials, and 2844 (Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes) and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products), among others.
