Overview
This HTS category, specifically HTS Code 8423.10.00.10, encompasses personal weighing machines, including those designed for weighing infants, as well as general household scales. These devices are primarily intended for individual use within a domestic setting for monitoring personal weight or weighing common household items. They are characterized by their digital electronic functionality, which allows for precise and easily readable weight measurements.
The distinguishing feature of this subcategory is its focus on personal and household applications, differentiating it from other weighing machinery. While other categories within Chapter 84.23 might cover industrial scales, laboratory balances, or weight-operated counting machines, this classification is strictly for scales used by individuals or within a household environment. The "Digital electronic type" designation further refines the classification to exclude mechanical scales within this personal and household context.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is specific to digital electronic personal and household weighing machines. Classification under this code would depend on the primary function and intended use of the weighing device.
