HS code for X-ray tables: 9022.90
Apparatus based on use of x-rays and similar, parts and accessories (x-ray generators, tubes, high tension generators, control panels and desks, screens, examination or treatment tables, chairs and like.
Classification of X-ray tables under HS 9022.90
X-ray tables are classified under HS code 9022.90. This classification is determined by the fact that these tables are specialized accessories designed for use exclusively with X-ray apparatus. Chapter 90 of the Harmonized System covers optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus. Heading 9022 specifically includes apparatus based on the use of X-rays. While general medical furniture like operating tables or hospital beds usually falls under heading 9402, the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System clarify that tables specially designed for X-ray examination or treatment are excluded from 9402 and must be classified under 9022. These tables are often constructed with radiolucent materials, such as carbon fiber or specialized plastics, to allow X-rays to pass through the tabletop to the detector or film located underneath. They may also include integrated rails for X-ray tubes, specialized motorized movements that are synchronized with the imaging system, or built-in Bucky trays. This high degree of specialization and integration with the X-ray apparatus necessitates their classification as parts and accessories under 9022.90 rather than as general medical furniture.

Codes often confused with 9022.90
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for X-ray tables is HS code 9402.90, which covers general medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture. Importers often choose 9402 because the item is a piece of furniture used in a hospital. However, because the table is an integral part of the X-ray diagnostic process and contains specialized radiological features, 9022.90 takes precedence according to the Chapter 90 notes.

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).
