9019.10.20Same rate: 10%

If designed primarily for veterinary clinic use on animals

Chapter notes direct veterinary-specific electro-medical apparatus to heading 9019 rather than human medical defibrillators.

9033.00Higher: 14.4% vs 10%

If entered as standalone replacement shock delivery module without full AED housing

Parts suitable for use solely with Chapter 90 apparatus but not fitting specific Chapter 90 headings classify in 9033.
