Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 9022 when importing or exporting apparatus that utilizes x-rays or ionizing radiation, such as x-ray machines for hospitals or dental clinics. This heading covers a variety of equipment, including radiography and radiotherapy devices.
When deciding between the subheadings, consider the specific use of the apparatus. For example, 902212 is for general radiography or radiotherapy equipment, while 902213 is specifically for dental applications. If the equipment is intended for medical or surgical use but not dental, you would select 902214.
If your equipment uses ionizing radiation but is not for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary purposes, you should look at 902219. This distinction is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff classification.
For x-ray tubes, use 902230. If you are dealing with parts and accessories related to x-ray equipment, such as control panels or examination tables, refer to 902290. This ensures you classify your products correctly based on their function.
