Overview
This HTS category, 8510.10.00.00, specifically covers electric shavers designed for personal grooming. These are appliances that utilize an electric motor and a cutting mechanism, typically rotary or oscillating blades, to remove facial or body hair. The defining characteristic is their primary function as a shaving device, differentiating them from other hair manipulation tools.
Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While 8510.20 covers hair clippers, which are used for cutting hair to specific lengths, and 8510.30.00.00 pertains to hair-removing appliances that may employ different technologies like epilation, this category exclusively pertains to shavers. Furthermore, 8510.90 encompasses only parts and accessories for the entire 8510 heading, not complete appliances themselves.
As 8510.10.00.00 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on identifying an electric appliance whose primary purpose is shaving. This includes both corded and cordless electric razors, foil shavers, and rotary shavers, provided they are self-contained units with an electric motor.
