Overview
This HTS category, 8214.20.60.00, specifically covers manicure and pedicure sets, or combinations thereof, that are presented within leather containers. This classification is reserved for sets designed for personal grooming of fingernails and toenails, which inherently include a collection of instruments such as nail files, clippers, cuticle pushers, and similar tools. The defining characteristic for this subheading is the inclusion of a leather case or holder as the packaging for these sets.
This subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 8214.20.90.00 ("Other"), by the material of the container. While the sibling category encompasses manicure and pedicure sets not presented in leather containers, this subheading is exclusively for those housed in leather. Both categories fall under the broader scope of manicure or pedicure sets and instruments, but the specificity of the container material is the decisive factor for classification here.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 8214.20.60.00 hinges entirely on the presence of manicure or pedicure instruments organized as a set and enclosed within a leather container. The material of the tools themselves, if made of base metal, is consistent with the parent category's scope of "Tools, implements, cutlery... of base metal."
