Analysis
Heading 9022 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionizing radiations, whether or not for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, X-ray tubes…. It divides into 8 six-digit subheadings and 15 eight-digit tariff lines, with 15 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
9 of its 15 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (60%) and 6 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 1.4%. The median line pays duty-free.
The largest subheadings are 9022.90 (other, including parts and accessories, 7 lines), 9022.29 (for other uses, 2 lines), 9022.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 9022.13 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 37th percentile of the headings in chapter 90.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing (334517) and Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334290). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
