Ionization Smoke Detector for Residential Use
A battery-operated ionization-type smoke detector designed for home installation, utilizing americium-241 to detect smoke particles by ionizing air and measuring current changes. It falls under HTS 9022.29.40.00 as an apparatus based on ionizing radiation for smoke detection purposes, not for medical uses. These units typically include an alarm and test button for household safety.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If presented without radioactive source or as non-ionizing type
Non-ionizing smoke detectors (photoelectric or heat-based) are classified as burglar/fire alarms under heading 8531, not ionizing radiation apparatus.
If designed for industrial or commercial fire suppression systems
Ionization detectors for non-safety alarm uses may fall under other ionizing radiation apparatus in 9022.19 if not specifically smoke detectors.
If imported as measuring or checking instruments without alarm function
Devices solely for radiation measurement without integrated smoke detection alarms are classified in 9031 for other measuring instruments.
