HTS 2844.43.00.10: Elements, isotopes and compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity only
Schedule text: Elements, isotopes and compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity only. Classification: Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes) and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products › 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 › Other radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds; other alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements, isotopes or compounds › Elements, isotopes and compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity only

How the rate is built
Each line is a separate legal authority. They stack on the $10,000 customs value unless a carve-out says otherwise.
| Program | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|
General rate of duty (Column 1) Official rate: Free 2844.43.00.10 | 0% | $0.00 |
Section 301 China product action 9903.91.01 | 25% | $2,500.00 |
Section 301 forced labor This HTS appears on the 9903.05.89 exemption list for articles for use in pharmaceutical applications (U.S. note 52(e)). That exemption depends on the END USE of the goods, which cannot be read from an HTS code, so the duty is charged here. If your entry qualifies, claim 9903.05.89 and this 12.5% does not apply — confirm with your customs broker. 9903.05.31 | 12.5% | $1,250.00 |
Effective duty rate | 37.5% | $3,750.00 |
Stack priced from China on a $10,000 customs value, ocean entry. Other origins carry different programs; the calculator prices any of them.

Questions about this example
- What is HTS code 2844.43.00.10?
- HTS 2844.43.00.10 covers elements, isotopes and compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity only; the schedule's own line text is "Elements, isotopes and compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity only". Its full classification path in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is: Radioactive chemical elements and radioactive isotopes (including the fissile or fertile chemical elements and isotopes) and their compounds; mixtures and residues containing these products › 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 › Other radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds; other alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements, isotopes or compounds › Elements, isotopes and compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity only. It sits in chapter 28 (Inorganic chemicals) under heading 2844.
- What is the general duty rate for HTS 2844.43.00.10?
- The Column 1 general rate of duty is Free. That is the most-favored-nation rate before any Section 301, Section 232, Section 338, Section 201 or antidumping and countervailing action, and before CBP's Merchandise Processing and Harbor Maintenance fees.
- What is the tariff on HTS 2844.43.00.10 from China?
- Priced on $10,000 of goods, the effective duty from China is 37.5%: 0% general rate + 25% Section 301 + 12.5% forced labor. Section 301 applies (9903.91.01). The Section 301 forced-labor duty applies.
- Which lines are related to HTS 2844.43.00.10?
- It is a statistical line under the 8-digit rate line 2844.43.00 (Other radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds; other alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements, isotopes or compounds), which has 3 other statistical lines. All lines under one 8-digit heading share the same legal duty rate; the tenth digit reports statistics.
