Alternative Classifications

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

9018.90.64Same rate: 10%

If the complete defibrillator instrument rather than separate PCA

Assembled electro-medical defibrillators import complete under the parent instrument heading, not as replacement parts.

8542.31.00Higher: 50% vs 10%

If for non-medical electronic integrated circuits used in prototyping

Individual processor ICs or generic signal chips classify as electronic integrated circuits, separate from assembled medical PCAs.

9033.00Higher: 14.4% vs 10%

If sold as repair parts for various hospital monitoring equipment

Multi-function PCAs suitable principally for broader electro-diagnostic apparatus fall under general parts heading 9033.
