HTS heading 9019 is a broad product category for certain therapeutic, rehabilitation, massage, respiratory-treatment, and psychological aptitude-testing equipment. It can include mechano-therapy appliances, massage apparatus, ozone or oxygen therapy equipment, aerosol therapy devices, artificial-respiration equipment, other therapeutic-respiration apparatus, and identifiable parts and accessories. The heading describes the product’s function and design—not simply the fact that it is used in healthcare.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the product’s principal function and determine whether it is a complete appliance, a part, or an accessory. Then follow the heading’s subheadings and statistical breakouts, which may distinguish product types, construction or operating features, and other characteristics. Do not assume that a device belongs in heading 9019 because it is marketed as medical equipment; compare the product with the legal heading and subheading descriptions, the applicable Section and Chapter Notes, and relevant classification guidance. A customs broker or classification specialist may be needed for multifunction devices or borderline products.
What to check
- Describe the device’s actual function, operating method, and intended therapeutic use; do not rely only on its marketing name.
- Check whether the item is a complete machine, an identifiable replacement part, or an accessory, and verify that the relevant provision covers that form.
- Review the 8-digit subheadings and statistical descriptions for distinctions based on equipment type, construction, or other stated features.
- Use technical manuals, product specifications, photographs, and component information to support the classification.
- Check current official HTSUS notes, rulings, and amendments, and obtain broker or specialist advice when multiple headings could apply.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
