HS code for radiation apparatus
In the UK Trade Tariff’s list of everyday names, “radiation apparatus” points to heading 9030: oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray, cosmic or other ionising radiation. Check the description and the notes of the chapter before declaring: the right code depends on what the goods are made of and how they are used.
The UK Global Tariff divides 9030 into 14 tariff lines; the duty is duty-free.
In the EU Combined Nomenclature, 9030 covers 12 tariff lines and the duty is between 0% and 2.1%. 11 of them are duty-free.
