Overview
This category, HTS 9019.10.20.20, specifically classifies handheld massage apparatus that are powered by batteries. These devices are designed for personal use to provide mechanical stimulation to the body for therapeutic or relaxation purposes. Examples include handheld massagers that utilize vibrations, percussive actions, or other forms of mechanical manipulation.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 9019.10.20.30 "Other," which would encompass electrically operated, battery-powered massage apparatus that are not handheld. The "Handheld" designation is a key differentiating factor, focusing on the form factor and intended mode of operation for the user.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. The classification is determined by the convergence of being a massage apparatus, electrically operated, battery-powered, and specifically designed in a handheld form. Therefore, if a device meets all these criteria, it falls under this specific HTS code.
