Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If using X-ray tubes instead of radioactive isotopes
X-ray based apparatus falls under 9022.19; gamma sources shift to 9022.29 per radiation type.
If classified primarily as measuring instrument without specifying ionizing radiation
Chapter note prioritizes 9031 for optical/measuring devices, but radiation-specific function governs here.
If imported as complete industrial testing machine assembly
Machines with integrated NDT classified by principal function in 84, not dedicated radiation apparatus.
