Overview
This HTS classification, 9022.13.00.00, specifically covers apparatus that utilize X-rays for dental applications. This includes a range of equipment designed for diagnostic imaging within dentistry, such as dental X-ray machines, panoramic X-ray units, and intraoral X-ray systems. The defining characteristic of this category is its intended use in professional dental practices for examining teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 9022.12.00.00 encompasses computed tomography (CT) apparatus, and 9022.14.00.00 covers other X-ray apparatus for general medical, surgical, or veterinary uses, 9022.13.00.00 is strictly limited to dental applications. Therefore, X-ray equipment used for medical imaging of other body parts or for veterinary purposes would fall under different classifications.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories under 9022.13.00.00. Classification within this heading relies primarily on the explicit dental purpose of the X-ray apparatus. Exporters and importers should ensure that the primary function and intended market for the goods align with dental diagnostic imaging to correctly utilize this code.
