8214.20.30.00 - Cuticle or cornknives, cuticle pushers, nail files, nailcleaners, nail nippers and clippers, all the foregoing used for manicure or pedicure purposes, and parts thereof

This HTS category, 8214.20.30.00, specifically enumerates a range of personal grooming tools designed for manicure and pedicure applications. It encompasses items such as cuticle knives, cuticle pushers, nail files, nail cleaners, nail nippers, and nail clippers, all of which are intended for use on fingernails and toenails. The classification also explicitly includes any parts of these instruments. The primary defining characteristic for inclusion in this sub-heading is the intended purpose of the tool for manicure or pedicure.

While the broader heading includes other cutlery and manicure/pedicure sets, this particular sub-heading focuses on individual implements for nail care rather than comprehensive sets. It distinguishes itself from the sibling category, "Manicure and pedicure sets, and combinations thereof," by covering single tools rather than collections of tools sold together as a unit. Therefore, an individual nail file or a single nail clipper would fall here, whereas a kit containing multiple such items would be classified under the sibling entry.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this HTS code. The classification is final for individual tools meeting the specified criteria and intended use for manicure or pedicure purposes. Classification hinges on the specific function of the tool and its direct application in personal nail grooming, differentiating it from more general cutting implements or complete grooming kits.
