8423.10.00.30 - Of a kind suitable for carrying on the person

This HTS category, 8423.10.00.30, specifically covers weighing machinery designed for personal use and portability, emphasizing the criterion of being "of a kind suitable for carrying on the person." This includes, but is not limited to, compact personal scales that can be easily transported for travel or convenience, such as luggage scales or small, foldable body weight scales. The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory is its inherent portability and intended use outside of a fixed household or commercial setting.

In contrast to its sibling category, 8423.10.00.60, which encompasses "Other" personal weighing machines, this classification is reserved for those explicitly designed with portability as a primary characteristic. While the sibling category might cover personal weighing machines that are primarily intended for household use but are still personal in nature (e.g., standard bathroom scales that are not particularly designed for easy transport), this category focuses on items where the ability to be carried easily is a defining feature. Therefore, classification hinges on the design and intended functionality related to transportability.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8423.10.00.30 is definitive for weighing machinery meeting the description of being suitable for carrying on the person, thus concluding the detailed breakdown for this specific item within the broader scope of personal and household weighing machines.
