9603.29.40 - Valued not over 40¢ each

This HTS category, 9603.29.40, specifically covers "Other" toilet brushes for personal use, valued not over 40¢ each. This includes a wide array of personal grooming brushes such as toothbrushes, shaving brushes, hair brushes, nail brushes, and eyelash brushes, provided they are intended for direct application to the person. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the unit value of the individual brush, which must be less than or equal to 40 cents.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 9603.29.80, primarily by the established monetary threshold. While both subcategories fall under "Other" toilet brushes, 9603.29.80 pertains to those brushes with a unit value exceeding 40¢. Therefore, the critical factor for distinguishing between these two sibling codes is a direct comparison of the declared value per item.

Within this category, two subcategories exist to further refine classification. 9603.29.40.10 specifically addresses hairbrushes, while 9603.29.40.90 encompasses all other types of toilet brushes that meet the value requirement and are not hairbrushes. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification of imported goods based on both their intended use as a personal toilet brush and their specific type or a catch-all provision for items not otherwise specified within this value bracket.
