9019 10 90
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9019, 9019 10 and 9019 10 90.
Given its specific shape, the article is intended for use as a hand-operated apparatus for massaging the body.
The article operates by friction. The absence of free-moving parts does not exclude classification as a massage apparatus (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 9019, (II), second paragraph, where simple rubber rollers and similar massaging devices are mentioned).
The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 9019 10 90 as a massage apparatus.
