HS Code 9022.14 – Apparatus based on the use of x-rays; including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, for medical, surgical or veterinary uses, not dental uses, excluding computed tomography apparatus
HS code 9022.14 is the 6-digit subheading for apparatus based on the use of x-rays, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, for medical, surgical or veterinary uses, not dental uses, excluding computed tomography apparatus. It is used for general radiography systems, fluoroscopy units, mobile X-ray machines, mammography systems and C-arm fluoroscopy units (non-CT).
What HS 9022.14 covers
This HS code covers X-ray apparatus specifically designed for medical, surgical, or veterinary applications, excluding dental uses and computed tomography (CT) systems. This category includes conventional radiography and fluoroscopy units crucial for diagnostics and some therapeutic procedures in hospitals, clinics, and veterinary practices. International trade in these devices is fundamental for global healthcare infrastructure. Major importers are countries with significant healthcare investments, such as the USA, China, Germany, and developing nations expanding their medical facilities. Exporters are typically technologically advanced countries like Germany, the USA, and Japan. Key factors for traders include navigating stringent medical device regulations, managing the logistics of large and sensitive equipment, and adapting to evolving diagnostic standards. The market is driven by the global burden of disease, increasing demand for diagnostic imaging, and the need for robust veterinary care.

Codes often confused with 9022.14
Common mistake. This code is differentiated from 902212 (General X-ray including CT) by the exclusion of CT, and from 902213 (Dental X-ray) by its non-dental application. Confusion arises if the specific medical/surgical/veterinary use and non-CT nature are not carefully identified.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 902214, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 902214 in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 20% of world imports.

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).
