Overview
This category, HTS 9019.10.20.90, specifically addresses "Parts and accessories" for mechano-therapy appliances and massage apparatus. This designation applies to components or supplementary items designed to be used with, or enhance the functionality of, these types of therapeutic equipment. Examples include replacement parts like motors, control panels, specific massage heads, or power cords, as well as accessories such as protective covers or specialized attachments that do not, in themselves, constitute a complete appliance.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, HTS 9019.10.20.10, which covers complete "Mechano-therapy appliances," is crucial. While mechano-therapy appliances are self-contained units designed for therapeutic mechanical action, this category is strictly for the individual pieces that make up or are used in conjunction with such appliances. Similarly, it differs from the unassigned sibling category for "Massage apparatus" by focusing solely on the components and accessories for both mechano-therapy and massage devices collectively.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9019.10.20.90 relies on accurately identifying that the item in question is indeed a part or accessory intended for use with a mechano-therapy or massage apparatus falling under headings within Chapter 90, particularly those related to therapeutic appliances. The intended function and the way the item integrates with a larger appliance are key determining factors.
