Short answer
What HS code 284443 means before paying a 1688 supplier
HS code 284443 is the 6-digit HS 2022 starting point for radioisotope; often searched as radioisotope, radioactive chemical, radiation source. Before using it in a landed-cost estimate, confirm the product material, function, destination market, and the official tariff source. Treat any 1688 supplier code as a clue, not the final import classification.
Use
Start with this 6-digit HS code and compare the product's material, function, and use.
Verify

Questions
HS code 284443: common questions
What is HS code 284443?
HS code 284443 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other radioactive elements and isotopes and compounds; other alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements, isotopes or compounds". The first two digits (28) are the chapter — Inorganic chemicals; compounds of precious metals and isotopes — and digits 3-4 (2844) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 284443?
Common products classified under 284443 include radioisotope, radioactive chemical, radiation source and similar items matching other radioactive elements and isotopes and…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 284443?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
