HS Code for Dental X-ray machine
Dental X-ray machines are classified under HS code 9022.13. This classification falls within the broader category of apparatus based on the use of X-rays for medical, surgical, or dental purposes. The specific subheading 9022.13 is reserved for X-ray equipment designed exclusively for dental use, excluding computed tomography (CT) apparatus. These machines work by emitting a controlled beam of X-ray radiation through the patient's oral structures to produce images on film or digital sensors. The classification covers the entire system, including the X-ray generator, the control unit, and the mechanical arm used for positioning. Whether the unit is a wall-mounted intraoral system or a floor-standing panoramic unit, it remains under this code as long as it is dedicated to dental diagnostics and does not utilize CT technology.
Products Included

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 9022.12, which is specifically for Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. If a dental machine has 3D imaging/CBCT capabilities, it must be classified under 9022.12 rather than 9022.13. Additionally, general medical X-ray units are classified under 9022.14, which should not be used for specialized dental equipment.
