9022.90.60.00 - Of apparatus based on the use of X-rays

This HTS category, 9022.90.60.00, specifically covers parts and accessories for apparatus that utilize X-rays. This includes components such as X-ray tubes, high tension generators, control panels, screens, and examination or treatment tables designed for use with X-ray equipment. The scope is limited to items that are integral to the functioning of X-ray based systems, whether for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary applications, as well as radiography or radiotherapy apparatus.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 9022.90.70.00 covers parts and accessories of ionization-type smoke detectors, this current category focuses exclusively on components for broader X-ray apparatus. Category 9022.90.95.00 serves as a residual category for "other" parts and accessories within the broader 9022.90 designation that do not fit into more specific subheadings. Therefore, 9022.90.60.00 is for X-ray specific components that are not smoke detector related and are not captured by other more granular classifications within this section.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this heading relies on confirming that the part or accessory is indeed intended for apparatus based on the use of X-rays, and not for other types of ionizing radiation apparatus or for other general instrument components. The primary classification criterion is the direct functional relationship to X-ray generating or utilizing equipment.
