Overview
This HTS category, 9018.11.60.00, specifically classifies printed circuit assemblies that are components of electro-diagnostic apparatus. These assemblies are the functional electronic heart of devices used for medical diagnosis and monitoring. Their inclusion here signifies that the printed circuit board, populated with electronic components, is being classified in its own right as a part or accessory when imported separately, rather than as part of a fully assembled electro-diagnostic instrument.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9018.11.30.00, which covers complete electrocardiographs. While printed circuit assemblies are essential for the functioning of an electrocardiograph, this specific sub-heading is for the unassembled or partially assembled electronic boards themselves, not the finished medical device. The "Other" category (9018.11.90.00) would typically encompass other electro-diagnostic apparatus not specifically itemized.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9018.11.60.00 hinges on the determination that the printed circuit assembly is designed for use in electro-diagnostic equipment falling under heading 9018. This requires careful consideration of the technical specifications and intended application of the printed circuit assembly itself.
