Last updated: April 2026 dataDigital bathroom scales, baby scales, and portable personal weighing devices make up this consumer-oriented heading, which the US schedule subdivides into digital electronic types (8423100010), portable carry-on scales (8423100030), and residual personal and household scales (8423100050, 8423100060). China overwhelmingly dominates supply for this category, reflecting its concentration in consumer electronics and small-appliance manufacturing, with the Dominican Republic a notable second-ranked source. Retail and e-commerce importers should be aware that digital personal scales with Bluetooth or app connectivity may require additional review to confirm classification remains within 8423.10 rather than migrating to a measurement-instrument heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Generally yes, provided the primary function remains personal weight measurement. CBP's classification analysis focuses on the essential character of the article; a scale that measures weight and transmits data via Bluetooth to a smartphone app is still principally a weighing machine. However, if the device's primary marketed function shifts to medical body-composition analysis, reclassification under a medical instrument heading could be argued. Importers of connected wellness devices should obtain a binding ruling or consult a licensed customs broker before large-volume shipments.
The Dominican Republic hosts export-processing zones that assemble consumer electronics and small appliances, including digital scales, often using components sourced from Asia. Its geographic proximity to the US and established free-trade-zone infrastructure make it a cost-competitive assembly location for products destined for the North American retail market.
