HS Code 9022.13 – Apparatus based on the use of x-rays; including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, for dental uses, excluding computed tomography apparatus
HS code 9022.13 is the 6-digit subheading for apparatus based on the use of x-rays, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, for dental uses, excluding computed tomography apparatus. It is used for intraoral X-ray units, panoramic X-ray machines, cephalometric X-ray systems, dental phosphor plate systems and digital dental sensors.
What HS 9022.13 covers
This HS code specifically covers X-ray apparatus used in dentistry, excluding the more advanced computed tomography (CT) systems. This includes traditional dental radiography units essential for diagnosing oral health issues. The international trade in these devices is vital for equipping dental clinics worldwide, from small practices to large hospitals. Major importers are countries with growing dental care markets and expanding healthcare infrastructure, such as the USA, China, and European nations. Exporters often include countries with specialized medical device manufacturing, like Germany, Japan, and the USA. Key considerations for traders involve adherence to specific national health regulations, managing equipment installation and servicing logistics, and understanding the demand for both conventional and digital radiography solutions. The market is influenced by dental tourism, increasing awareness of oral health, and technological shifts towards digital imaging.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
