Apparatus based on the use of X-rays, whether or not for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus: other, for medical, surgical or veterinary uses
Analysis
HTS 9022.14.00 covers apparatus based on the use of X-rays, whether or not for medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus: other… under heading 9022 (apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionizing…).
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 1.4%. Compared with 9022.90.95 (other: other), which pays 1.4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 1.4 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 35% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 35% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 73% of the 296 tariff lines in chapter 90, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), an industry of 121 US establishments employing 12,598 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
