CN Explanatory Notes

The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.

7806 00 10 · Containers with an anti-radiation lead covering, for the transport or storage of radioactive materials (Euratom)

With the exception of the containers for transport referred to in subheading 8609 00 10, this subheading covers all types of receptacles made of or armoured with lead, for the transport or storage of radioactive materials, so that the radiation emitted cannot damage objects or persons in the immediate vicinity. These receptacles range from simple cylindrical drums with a cap or simple small boxes with a lid, wholly of lead, to large containers, whether or not coated inside with stainless steel and covered or reinforced on the outside by steel bands and fitted with hooks, supports, double walls, flanges, special valves, cooling water circulators, shelves, whether or not pivoting, etc.

In certain cases, they may comprise two or more separable concentric casings or a number of separable components. They are designed to be heat-proof, shock-proof and water-resistant, to resist corrosion from their contents and, moreover, to be easily decontaminated inside and out.

This subheading does not include small cylindrical lead receptacles intended as pulse counters for radioactive materials (subheading 7806 00 80).
