8510.90.55.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8510.90.55.00, covers miscellaneous parts for shavers, hair clippers, and hair-removing appliances that are not specifically classifiable under other "Parts" subheadings within the 8510.90.00 series. This "Other" designation is typically applied when a part does not fit neatly into more granular categories like internal blades, motors, or housings, or when the specific nature of the part is not readily apparent or standardized for separate classification. Examples could include certain non-electrical accessories, specialized cleaning tools unique to a specific appliance model, or components that serve a secondary function not directly related to the primary cutting or shaving action.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Parts of shavers" and "Parts of hair clippers," which are reserved for components directly identifiable as belonging to either shavers or hair clippers respectively. This "Other" category serves as a residual classification for parts that may be common to both types of appliances, or for components whose specific application is less defined. The classification hinges on the part's physical characteristics and its functional relationship to the self-contained electric motor appliance, ensuring that it is a component without being specifically enumerated elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a part under 8510.90.55.00 relies on its exclusion from more specific subheadings. Importers and customs brokers must meticulously review the physical and functional attributes of the part in question and confirm that it does not meet the criteria for classification under any other existing "Parts" category within the 8510.90.00 series before assigning it to this residual subheading.
