HS Code Classification for "Pet Massager"

Based on available information, classifying "Pet Massager" requires careful consideration of its function and design. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, with explanations:

• 8479.89.95.65 - Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and mechanical appliances: Other: Other Hydraulic accumulators.
  • 84: Machinery and mechanical appliances.
  • 79: Machinery for specific industries (in this case, broadly applicable).
  • 89: Other machines and mechanical appliances
  • 95: Parts and accessories of machines
  • 65: Other Hydraulic accumulators
  • Applicability: If the pet massager utilizes hydraulic pressure as a core function, this code might be applicable. Note: This is less likely unless it's a specialized hydraulic device. The current total tax rate is 32.5%.
• 8424.89.90.00 - Mechanical appliances (whether or not hand operated) for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, whether or not charged; spray guns and similar appliances; steam or sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines; parts thereof: Other appliances: Other.
  • 84: Machinery and mechanical appliances.
  • 24: Appliances for projecting, dispersing, or spraying.
  • 89: Other appliances.
  • 90: Other
  • Applicability: If the massager involves projecting liquids (e.g., for aromatherapy) or powders (e.g., for flea treatment), this could be considered. The current total tax rate is 56.8%.
• 8424.89.10.00 - Mechanical appliances (whether or not hand operated) for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, whether or not charged; spray guns and similar appliances; steam or sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines; parts thereof: Other appliances: Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying, of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of printed circuits or printed circuit assemblies
  • 84: Machinery and mechanical appliances.
  • 24: Appliances for projecting, dispersing, or spraying.
  • 89: Other appliances.
  • 10: Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying
  • Applicability: If the massager is used in the manufacture of printed circuits or printed circuit assemblies. The current total tax rate is 55.0%.
• 9603.50.00.00 - Other brushes constituting parts of machines, appliances or vehicles.
  • 96: Miscellaneous manufactured articles.
  • 03: Brushes, sweepers, mops, feather dusters
  • 50: Other brushes constituting parts of machines
  • 00: Other
  • Applicability: If the massager incorporates brushes as a core component (e.g., a grooming brush with a motor). The current total tax rate is 37.5%.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Functionality: The precise function of the "pet massager" is critical. Is it purely mechanical (vibration, kneading)? Does it spray liquids? Does it utilize brushes?
• Material Composition: The materials used in construction can influence classification.
• Intended Use: Clarify the specific animal the massager is designed for.
• Post April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the increased 30% tariff that will be applied to many categories after April 2, 2025.
• Certification: Depending on the final HS code, specific certifications may be required for import (e.g., safety standards).

Disclaimer: This is a preliminary assessment based on limited information. A definitive HS code determination should be made by a qualified customs broker or based on an official customs ruling.
