Siemens MAGNETOM Superconducting Electromagnet

This superconducting electromagnet is designed specifically for use in Siemens MAGNETOM MRI scanners, generating the strong, stable magnetic field required for high-resolution medical imaging. It falls under HTS 8505.90.70.00 as it is used solely or principally for MRI apparatus (excluding heading 9018 medical instruments). The coil assembly uses niobium-titanium wire cooled by liquid helium to achieve fields up to 3 Tesla.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8505.90.75.01Higher: 36.3% vs 35%

If used in non-MRI applications like particle accelerators

Electromagnets for general industrial or scientific use fall under the broader 'other electromagnets' category outside MRI-specific provisions.

9018.90.75Same rate: 35%

If imported as integral part of complete MRI scanner

Complete MRI apparatus or its integral parts are classified under medical instruments heading 9018 rather than separate electromagnets.

8505.11.00Higher: 37.1% vs 35%

If permanent magnet type rather than electromagnetic

MRI systems using permanent magnets instead of electromagnets change classification to permanent magnet heading.
