9615.19.40.00 - Valued over $4.50 per gross

This HTS category, 9615.19.40.00, specifically classifies combs that are valued at over $4.50 per gross. This valuation criterion is the primary determinant for inclusion in this subcategory. These combs are typically designed for the purpose of arranging, styling, or cleaning hair and can be made from a variety of materials, including but not limited to plastic, metal, or natural materials, provided they meet the specified value threshold.

The key distinction between this category and its sibling, 9615.19.20.00, lies solely in the per-gross value. While both cover "Other" combs, 9615.19.20.00 applies to those valued at $4.50 or less per gross. Therefore, for accurate classification, importers must determine the unit value of the combs being imported and apply the appropriate HTS code based on this monetary distinction.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification ends at this specific level of detail for combs meeting the "other" description and exceeding the $4.50 per gross valuation. The focus remains on the item's function as a comb and its economic value as defined by the tariff.
