Overview

HTS Code 8510.20 specifically encompasses hair clippers, which are electrical appliances designed for cutting hair. These devices are distinguished from other products within heading 8510 by their primary function of clipping or trimming hair, as opposed to shaving (8510.10) or the removal of hair through other means such as epilation or waxing (8510.30). The key characteristic is the mechanical cutting action achieved through reciprocating or rotating blades.
