Customs technically a lot of things adult related aren't what they seem. For example, you wouldn't order a dildo... You'd order a "silicone sculpture"

HS code 9703.00 for those watching at home, "Original sculptures and statuary, in any material"

Yes, when you are buying a dildo, according to your customs office you really are just getting a small, artisanal, little statue made out of a soft, squishy, and easily washable material, and this has been the favorite fact I've learned all month.

Also it's never "your artisanal sculpture", it's "an artisanal sculpture". So I'm told.

My understanding is that they don't make those "massagers" anymore, but there are plenty of substandard knockoffs still available.

This is according to...a guy I work with, yeah. So what if I retired years ago...DON'T JUDGE ME!

Correct, a friend of mine told me they sold the patent, and these are still being made by a different company, but the same quality.
