HS-4 · Heading
8401 — Nuclear reactors; fuel elements (cartridges), non-irradiated, for nuclear reactors, machinery and apparatus for isotopic separation
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8401 when importing nuclear reactors, non-irradiated fuel elements, or machinery for isotopic separation. For example, if you're bringing in a non-irradiated fuel cartridge for a nuclear reactor, this heading applies directly to your shipment.
When deciding between 840110 for nuclear reactors and 840130 for non-irradiated fuel elements, consider the primary function of your product. If the item is a complete reactor system, use 840110; if it’s specifically a fuel cartridge, go with 840130.
For machinery and apparatus used in isotopic separation, choose 840120. This line is distinct from 840140, which covers parts of nuclear reactors. If your equipment is not a reactor part but is essential for isotopic processes, 840120 is the correct classification.
