Neutron detection equipment manufacturers (homeland security scanners), quantum computing/cryogenics researchers, and specialty scientific instrument makers are the very narrow, high-value buyer base for helium-3.
HSN code 28454000 is classified as Restricted under India's DGFT ITC(HS) export policy — a license or permit is required before export.
This product requires a license or permit before export/import from India.
HSN Code Details
HSN 28454000 covers helium-3, a rare, non-radioactive isotope critical for neutron detection equipment and specialty cryogenic/quantum research applications.
Helium-3 is an extremely scarce strategic material (primarily a byproduct of nuclear weapons tritium decay) subject to export controls in supplier countries - global supply is limited and allocation is often government-managed rather than open market.
