9022.14.00.00 - Other, for medical, surgical or veterinary uses

This HTS category, 9022.14.00.00, encompasses apparatus that utilize X-rays for medical, surgical, or veterinary applications. These devices are designed for diagnostic imaging, therapeutic treatment, or surgical guidance, and include a broad range of equipment beyond those specifically itemized in other subheadings. Examples include general radiography units, mobile X-ray machines, fluoroscopy equipment, and certain types of radiation therapy apparatus intended for animal or human medical use, when not classified elsewhere.

This classification serves as a residual category for X-ray apparatus used in the medical field, distinguishing itself from "Computed tomography apparatus" (9022.12.00.00) which specifically refers to devices that generate cross-sectional images. It also differs from "Other, for dental uses" (9022.13.00.00), which is exclusively for dental applications, and "For other uses" (9022.19.00.00), which covers X-ray apparatus not intended for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary purposes.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9022.14.00.00. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes under this heading is on accurately determining the intended primary use of the X-ray apparatus, ensuring it aligns with medical, surgical, or veterinary functions and is not specifically covered by the more narrowly defined sibling categories. Classification decisions will rely on an understanding of the apparatus's functionality and its explicit design for these specified healthcare domains.
