Overview
HTS Code 9022.19.00.00 encompasses apparatus that utilize X-rays for purposes other than those specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings. This broad category captures X-ray equipment designed for non-medical, non-surgical, non-dental, and non-veterinary applications. Examples include industrial X-ray inspection systems used for quality control in manufacturing, security screening devices employing X-ray technology, and laboratory equipment for material analysis. The key determinant for classification under this subheading is the absence of a direct application for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease or injury in humans or animals, or for dental procedures.
This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its residual nature. HTS 9022.12.00.00 specifically covers computed tomography (CT) scanners. HTS 9022.13.00.00 is reserved for other X-ray apparatus exclusively for dental uses. HTS 9022.14.00.00 is for other X-ray apparatus designated for general medical, surgical, or veterinary applications. Therefore, any X-ray apparatus that does not fall within these specific uses, such as industrial or security applications, will be classified under 9022.19.00.00.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9022.19.00.00. Classification into this subheading is finalized once it is determined that the apparatus uses X-rays and its intended application is not medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary. Classification specialists should consider the primary function and design of the equipment to ensure accurate placement within the HTS.
