U.S. exports of non-irradiated nuclear fuel elements (cartridges) & parts (HS 840130) totaled $109.8M in July 2026.
Importers of Non-Irradiated Nuclear Fuel Elements (Cartridges) & Parts paid $652K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.9% on $9.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Irradiated Nuclear Fuel Elements (Cartridges) & Parts imports of $6.8M in July 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $7.9M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFresh, non-irradiated fuel assemblies and cartridges destined for nuclear reactors enter under tariff line 8401300000 and require NRC import authorization because they contain enriched or natural uranium or other fissile material. The 'non-irradiated' qualifier is classification-critical: once fuel has been used in a reactor and become radioactive, it exits this heading entirely and is governed by separate nuclear materials regulations. Fuel fabricators and utilities managing long-term fuel supply contracts should account for NRC licensing timelines, which can extend well beyond standard customs lead times.

Only fuel elements that have not yet been used in a reactor — and therefore have not become radioactive spent fuel — classify under 8401300000. Irradiated or spent fuel assemblies are classified differently and are subject to additional radioactive materials transport and disposal regulations beyond standard customs requirements.
Importers generally need an NRC import license or authorization, a shipper's declaration for radioactive materials compliant with IAEA transport regulations, and standard commercial entry documentation. Coordination with the port of entry and the carrier is essential given the specialized handling requirements for fissile materials.
