Overview
This HTS classification, 9019.10.40.00, specifically covers electrically operated apparatus designed for mechano-therapy, massage, or psychological aptitude testing. This includes devices that utilize electrical power to produce mechanical action for therapeutic, rehabilitative, or diagnostic purposes. Examples include electrically powered massage tables, vibration therapy machines, and automated massage devices.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9019.10.60.00 ("Other"), by the explicit requirement for the apparatus to be electrically operated. The sibling category would encompass non-electrically powered mechano-therapy or massage devices, or other items within the broader 9019.10 heading that do not fall under the specific subcategories.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code hinges on confirming that the apparatus is indeed electrically operated and intended for mechano-therapy, massage, or psychological aptitude testing. The primary distinguishing factor from other potential classifications within Chapter 90 is the specific therapeutic or testing function combined with electrical operation.
