Overview
This HTS category, 9019.10.20.45, encompasses a range of electrically operated massage apparatus that do not fall under the specific subcategory of those powered by an AC adapter. These devices are designed to provide massage functions for therapeutic or relaxation purposes. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is their electrical operation, while excluding those specifically designed to be plugged into an AC outlet for primary power.
This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 9019.10.20.35 ("Powered by AC adapter"), by encompassing devices that may operate via internal batteries, direct DC power sources, or other electrical means not solely reliant on a standard AC adapter connection. It is crucial to consider the primary power source and operational method when differentiating between these two granular classifications within electrically operated massage apparatus.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9019.10.20.45 is determined by the presence of electrical operation for massage functions and the absence of the specific AC adapter power dependency outlined in its sibling category. Examples of items that might fall here include battery-powered handheld massagers or devices that integrate electrical motors for massage but are designed for alternative power inputs beyond a dedicated AC adapter.
