Overview
This HTS classification, 9603.30.40.00, specifically covers artists' brushes, writing brushes, and similar brushes intended for the application of cosmetics, where the individual value of each brush falls within the range of over 5¢ but not exceeding 10¢. This pricing threshold is a critical determining factor for this sub-classification. These brushes are designed for precise application of materials such as paint, ink, or makeup, distinguishing them from general-purpose brushes.
The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the unit value of the brush. Category 9603.30.20.00 encompasses similar brushes valued at 5¢ or less each, while 9603.30.60.00 covers those valued at over 10¢ each. Therefore, the precise cost per item is the key differentiator for accurate classification.
As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under HTS 9603.30.40.00. Classification within this code is complete when the brush meets the description of an artists', writing, or cosmetic application brush and falls within the specified value range. Practical examples include small makeup brushes used for eyeshadow application, fine-tipped brushes for calligraphy, or small brushes designed for detailed art work, provided they meet the stated value criterion.
