HS v2022 Code: 902219

About apparatus based on the use of x-rays, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus; for other than medical, surgical, dental or veterinary uses

HS code 902219 covers a range of x-ray-based apparatus and equipment used for non-medical purposes. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including industrial inspection, security screening, and scientific research. The demand for these specialized devices is driven by the need for efficient and reliable non-destructive testing, as well as the growing emphasis on public safety and security measures across the global economy.

Production process

The production of x-ray apparatus under HS code 902219 typically involves a combination of precision engineering, advanced materials science, and sophisticated electronic components. Manufacturers utilize specialized manufacturing techniques, such as computer-controlled machining, vacuum deposition, and rigorous quality control processes, to ensure the reliability and performance of these highly technical devices.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 902219 items include high-quality x-ray tubes, specialized shielding materials (such as lead or tungsten), advanced electronic control systems, and precision mechanical components. Manufacturers also rely on a range of specialized tools, testing equipment, and skilled technicians to assemble and calibrate these complex devices.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 902219 are x-ray-based apparatus and equipment used for non-medical applications, such as industrial radiography, security screening, and scientific research. These devices may be consumed by a variety of other industries, including 842489 Machinery for public works, building or the like for construction and infrastructure projects, 854370 Other electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter for security and surveillance systems, and 902290 Parts and accessories for apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta or gamma radiations for replacement and maintenance purposes.
