8 six-digit codes · Heading 21 of 32 in Chapter 90 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9022 covers machines that use x-rays or other ionising radiation, plus the tubes and parts that go with them. This page shows how to pick the right six-digit code and where to find trade records.
Heading 9022 is finely cut: 8 six-digit codes, 902212 to 902290, all of them under “Apparatus based on the use of x-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionising radiations, whether or not for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, x-ray tubes and other x-ray generators, high tens”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 21 of 32 in Chapter 90, Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories, which runs to 143 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 9022 covers
These are machines that use radiation to look inside things or to treat patients. The radiation can be x-rays. The machines may be for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary work. They may also be made for other jobs.
The group includes radiography apparatus, which makes x-ray images. It includes radiotherapy apparatus, which treats illness with radiation. It also includes x-ray tubes, x-ray generators and high tension generators, which power the tube. Parts and accessories belong here too.
You may also see the code written as HSN 9022 or HTS 9022. The first six digits are shared by countries that use the Harmonized System. Each country sets the digits after that. Each country also sets its own duty and GST rates, so check the rate for the place you ship to. The HS code classifier can help if you are unsure.
How to choose the right 9022 subheading
Ask three questions in order. Does the item use x-rays or another kind of radiation? What is it used for? Is it a whole machine, a tube or a part? The answers point to one code.
- Non-medical inspection equipment is checked here.
- 902229: the same type of radiation apparatus, but for other uses.
- 902230: x-ray tubes.
9022 vs related Chapter 90 headings
Some nearby headings sound close to 9022. The difference is usually what the item does.
HS 9018 covers instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary work, such as scintigraphic and other electro-medical apparatus. An x-ray machine goes to 9022, not 9018. HS 9030 covers instruments that measure or detect alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray and other radiations. A machine that makes radiation is a 9022 item. A tool that only reads or detects it is a 9030 item.
HS 9033 is for parts of Chapter 90 goods that are not named elsewhere. Parts of x-ray apparatus have their own place in 902290. HS 9027 covers instruments for physical or chemical analysis, so look there if the device analyses a material and does not image or treat.
