9603.29.40.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," under subheadings for toilet brushes, encompasses a broad range of personal grooming brushes not specifically enumerated in preceding categories. It includes brushes intended for use on the person that do not fall under the more specific classifications of hairbrushes, toothbrushes, shaving brushes, nail brushes, or eyelash brushes. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is their primary function as personal hygiene or grooming tools, distinct from industrial or household brushes.

While the immediate sibling category, 9603.29.40.10, covers hairbrushes, this "Other" category captures all remaining personal care brushes. For instance, it would include body brushes, facial cleansing brushes, and exfoliating brushes designed for direct application to the skin to promote cleanliness or skin treatment. The key differentiator lies in the specific intended use for personal grooming as opposed to hair management or other specialized brush types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this HTS code is determined by the exclusion of goods from more specific sibling categories and their affirmative classification as brushes for use on the person, valued not over 40¢ each. This means that the unit value of the brush is a critical factor in its placement here, distinguishing it from potentially similar, higher-valued personal care brushes that would be classified elsewhere.
