U.S. imports of medical, surgical, dental & veterinary apparatus using alpha, beta, gamma or other ionizing radiation (HS 902221) totaled $2.2M in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Medical, Surgical, Dental & Veterinary Apparatus Using Alpha, Beta, Gamma or Other Ionizing Radiation paid $190K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.0% on $2.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Medical, Surgical, Dental & Veterinary Apparatus Using Alpha, Beta, Gamma or Other Ionizing Radiation imports of $2.2M in April 2026 ran 26% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.7M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataRadiation therapy systems, nuclear medicine cameras, PET scanners, and similar apparatus that harness alpha, beta, gamma, or other ionizing radiation for clinical diagnosis or treatment are classified here — distinct from X-ray-based equipment in heading 9022. Germany and Sweden are the leading US import sources, reflecting the concentration of major radiotherapy and nuclear medicine OEMs in Europe. Importers must navigate both FDA medical device requirements and, for apparatus incorporating radioactive sources, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or Agreement State licensing obligations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 902214 covers apparatus based on X-rays (electrically generated ionizing radiation), while 902221 covers apparatus based on alpha, beta, gamma, or other ionizing radiations — typically from radioactive isotopes or particle accelerators. A PET scanner or gamma camera using radiopharmaceuticals falls under 902221; a conventional radiography or fluoroscopy unit falls under 902214. The radiation source type is the determinative factor.
FDA review applies to the device itself as a medical device subject to premarket clearance or approval requirements. If the unit incorporates a sealed radioactive source (such as cobalt-60), the NRC or the relevant Agreement State must also authorize the import and possession of that radioactive material. Importers should coordinate with both agencies well in advance of shipment.
