Classification of composite articles generally follows the material that gives the article its essential character. For a comb, the teeth are typically the functional element, so metal teeth may point toward 961519 (NESOI materials). However, this is a fact-specific determination; importers should request a binding ruling from CBP or consult a licensed customs broker when the primary material is ambiguous.
Yes. All imported combs and hair accessories must be marked with their country of origin in a conspicuous location as required by 19 U.S.C. § 1304. Additionally, if the articles are intended for retail sale, they may need to comply with FTC labeling rules regarding fiber content if any textile components are present. Importers should verify marking compliance before goods are released from CBP custody.
