8212.20.00.10 - Other

This HTS classification, 8212.20.00.10, covers "Other" safety razor blades, including razor blade blanks in strips, that do not fall under any more specific subheading within the 8212.20 category. This residual category is intended for safety razor blades that possess the fundamental characteristics of safety razor blades but are not explicitly defined by other subheadings at this level.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 8212.20.00.05, which specifically enumerates single-edge razor blades designed for shaving purposes. While both fall under the broader umbrella of safety razor blades, 8212.20.00.10 encompasses all other types of safety razor blades and blade blanks that are not single-edge shaving blades. This could include, for example, double-edge safety razor blades, blades for specialized safety razors (e.g., industrial safety cutters), or even unsharpened blade blanks in strip form intended for eventual fabrication into safety razor blades.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification into 8212.20.00.10 should be made after all other more specific subheadings for safety razor blades have been considered and found not to apply. The primary determinative factor for inclusion in this category is that the item is a safety razor blade or a razor blade blank in strip form, and it does not meet the specific criteria for any preceding subheading within the 8212.20 group.
