Overview
This HTS classification, 9018.19.95.60, specifically covers "Parts and accessories" for electro-diagnostic apparatus, excluding those explicitly enumerated in preceding subheadings. This category encompasses components, attachments, and auxiliary items that are designed to be used with, but do not independently function as, the electro-diagnostic equipment itself. Examples might include specialized cables, electrodes (unless classified separately), power supply units designed exclusively for such apparatus, carrying cases, or calibration tools integral to the operation of the primary electro-diagnostic instrument.
Crucially, this subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by focusing on components rather than complete functional units. For instance, while 9018.19.95.30 covers basal metabolism and blood pressure apparatus, and 9018.19.95.35 covers electroencephalographs and electromyographs, this subheading is for the parts and accessories *of* such or other similar electro-diagnostic devices not otherwise specified. 9018.19.95.50, "Other apparatus," would likely cover functional electro-diagnostic devices that do not fit into the more specific sibling categories, whereas 9018.19.95.60 is solely for the non-functional components and accessories that enable their operation or maintenance.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the primary classification consideration for items falling under 9018.19.95.60 is to determine if they are indeed parts or accessories for electro-diagnostic apparatus as defined in heading 9018 and its subordinate provisions, and if they are not specifically classified elsewhere within the 9018.19.95 range or other relevant HTS headings. The intended use and integration with the primary apparatus are key factors in assigning classification to this subheading.
