Last updated: July 2026 dataUltrasound imaging systems — from portable point-of-care units to high-end diagnostic platforms — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (9018120000) and are subject to FDA 510(k) clearance or premarket approval requirements as Class II or Class III medical devices. China is the dominant supplier, followed by Japan and South Korea, making this heading one of the more Section 301-exposed categories within diagnostic imaging equipment. Importers should confirm device registration with FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prior to entry, as uncleared devices are subject to detention and refusal. Transducer type, frequency range, and intended clinical application (cardiac, obstetric, musculoskeletal) are the key specification distinctions that affect both classification and regulatory pathway.
