Classification of massage machines under HS 9019.10
Massage machines are classified under HS code 9019.10. This heading covers mechano-therapy appliances, massage apparatus, and psychological aptitude-testing apparatus. The classification is determined by the therapeutic or relaxation function of the device. Massage apparatus includes machines that treat the body through vibrations, friction, or percussion. These devices can be hand-held or large stationary units like massage chairs. The key to classification under 9019.10 is the mechanical action intended to provide physical therapy or comfort.

It includes both simple mechanical devices and complex electro-mechanical systems designed for body manipulation. The classification applies to devices used in professional clinics as well as those designed for home use.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
