Products classified under Tariff item 9021.31
Ankle Fusion Implant Plate
An ankle fusion implant plate is a compression plate system used in ankle arthrodesis. It includes an artificial joint surface replacement and bone fixation screws to fuse the tibiotalar joint in severe arthritis cases. This titanium construct is designed for surgical implantation to replace the ankle joint function, qualifying as an artificial joint under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Ceramic Knee Implant Femoral Component
A ceramic knee implant femoral component is the femoral part of a total knee replacement system, made from zirconia ceramic. It articulates with tibial and patellar components to mimic natural knee motion after implantation. Engineered for high wear resistance, it is a key part of an artificial joint, falling under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00CoCrMo Shoulder Joint Ball Head
A CoCrMo shoulder joint ball head is a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy humeral head component for reverse or total shoulder arthroplasty. It replaces the natural ball in rotator cuff deficient patients and is precision-machined for glenoid articulation. This implant is an artificial joint component, classified under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Elbow Hinge Prosthesis
An elbow hinge prosthesis is a linked hinge mechanism used in total elbow arthroplasty for rheumatoid arthritis or trauma patients. It features cemented or press-fit stems and provides flexion-extension motion. This device replaces the elbow joint, making it an artificial joint under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Metatarsophalangeal Joint Implant
A metatarsophalangeal joint implant is a silicone or metal toe joint replacement for hallux rigidus or rheumatoid arthritis. It restores great toe motion with hinged or hemi-resurfacing designs and is implanted in foot surgery. This implant replaces a joint, qualifying as an artificial joint under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Polyethylene Acetabular Liner
A polyethylene acetabular liner is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene insert that lines the metal acetabular shell in hip replacements. It provides a low-friction bearing surface against the femoral head and is vitamin E stabilized for reduced wear. This liner is a component of an artificial hip joint, classified under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Spinal Disc Arthroplasty Device
A spinal disc arthroplasty device is an artificial intervertebral disc prosthesis that preserves the motion segment between lumbar vertebrae. It features cobalt-chrome endplates and an ultra-high polyethylene core, used for degenerative disc disease treatment. This device replaces a spinal joint, qualifying as an artificial joint under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Tibial Tray for Total Knee Replacement
A tibial tray for total knee replacement is a metallic platform component that anchors the polyethylene tibial insert in total knee arthroplasty systems. It is available in cemented and cementless designs for bone integration and is customizable for patient anatomy. This tray is an essential part of an artificial knee joint, classified under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Titanium Hip Replacement Prosthesis
A titanium hip replacement prosthesis is a complete artificial hip joint made primarily from titanium alloys, designed for surgical implantation to replace damaged hip joints in patients with arthritis or fractures. It includes a femoral stem, acetabular cup, and other components. This complete prosthesis is an artificial joint, classified under tariff item 9021.31.00.
9021.31.00Wrist Arthroplasty Radial Component
A wrist arthroplasty radial component is a radial carpal component for total wrist replacement systems, featuring ball-and-socket articulation to preserve hand function in rheumatoid or osteoarthritis patients. It is made of cobalt-chrome construction and is part of an artificial joint. This component is classified under tariff item 9021.31.00.
