Last updated: July 2026 dataCT scanners occupy a specialized niche in diagnostic imaging trade, combining high-precision X-ray sources with advanced detector arrays and reconstruction software — characteristics that make them among the highest-value single-unit imports in the medical equipment sector. Germany and Japan are the leading US suppliers, consistent with the global dominance of a small number of large imaging OEMs headquartered in those countries. The single tariff line 9022120000 covers complete CT apparatus; importers should verify whether software or service components bundled in a transaction require separate valuation treatment under CBP assist rules.

Potentially yes. CBP's assist rules require that the value of materials, components, or engineering work provided free of charge or at reduced cost by the buyer to the seller be added to the transaction value. Software developed specifically for the scanner and provided by the importer may qualify as an assist. Importers should review their supply agreements carefully and consult a licensed customs broker.
CT apparatus (902212) is distinguished by its use of a rotating X-ray source and detector array combined with computer reconstruction to produce cross-sectional images. Conventional radiography or fluoroscopy equipment that does not use tomographic reconstruction falls under other subheadings in heading 9022, such as 902214 for general medical/surgical X-ray apparatus. The functional method of image acquisition is the key classification criterion.
