2 six-digit codes · Heading 18 of 32 in Chapter 90 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 9019 is the customs heading for massage machines, aptitude-testing devices and therapy equipment that helps people breathe. Use this page to pick the right subcode and to find the companies that trade these goods.
Heading 9019 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Mechano-therapy, massage appliances; psychological aptitude testing apparatus; ozone, oxygen, aerosol therapy, artificial respiration or other therapeutic respiration apparatus” classify either at 901910 or at 901920, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 18 of 32 in Chapter 90, Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories, which runs to 143 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 9019
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 901910 | Mechano-therapy appliances; massage apparatus and psychological aptitude-testing apparatus |
| 901920 | Therapeutic respiration apparatus; ozone, oxygen, aerosol therapy apparatus; artificial respiration or other therapeutic respiration apparatus |
What HS code 9019 covers
The first kind treats the body with movement or pressure, such as massage apparatus. The second kind supports breathing, such as oxygen, ozone and aerosol therapy apparatus and artificial respiration equipment. One extra item sits with the first kind: psychological aptitude-testing apparatus.
The code comes from the Harmonized System, the shared customs language used around the world. You may see it called HSN code 9019 in India or HTS code 9019 in the United States. The first six digits are meant to be the same everywhere. That is why customs classification for this heading starts from the same two subcodes in most markets.
Heading 9019 belongs to the medical and measuring part of Chapter 90. It is narrower than it first sounds. It covers therapy and testing devices, not the wider range of tools used by doctors and dentists.
HS 901910 vs 901920: choosing the right subcode
The difference between HS 901910 and 901920 is the job the device does. Ask what the machine is built to do, then match it to the wording below.
A massage chair or a hand-held massager is the kind of product people search for under the massage apparatus HS code. It belongs with mechano-therapy at 901910. An oxygen therapy device is the kind people look up under the oxygen therapy apparatus HS code. It belongs at 901920.
What is not classified under 9019
Many nearby products look alike, so mistakes are common. Check these neighbours before you settle on 9019.
Heading 9018 holds general medical, surgical, dental and veterinary instruments, including electro-medical apparatus and sight-testing instruments. If your device is a tool for a clinician rather than a therapy or testing machine, look there first.
Its wording leaves out the apparatus of 9019.20. So a therapeutic respiration machine stays in 9019, while a gas mask or other breathing appliance goes to 9020. This is the usual answer to the question of HS 9019 vs 9020.
Heading 9021 covers orthopaedic appliances, such as crutches, splints and hearing aids. Heading 9022 covers X-ray and other radiation apparatus. Neither belongs in 9019.
Remember that national tariffs often add more digits after the first six. Those extra digits differ from country to country. Always check your own country's tariff, and use the HS code classifier if you are unsure.
