About this item code

AHECC item pages represent the end point of the export commodity hierarchy. They are the level used when a commodity has been identified precisely enough for final export coding.

Use the parent chapter and section links if you need to step back and compare nearby codes before confirming the final item.

The reported unit of quantity for this item is KG. Confirm the commodity description and reporting unit in the official ABS workbook before lodging an export declaration.

Before selecting this item

Use this code only when the goods match the final description High activity radioactive sources with an activity level equal to or greater than that prescribed in Additional Note 2 and restricted under subregulation 9AD of Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958. If the wording is too broad or does not match the goods, return to AHECC chapter 28 and compare every item in the chapter.
