Last updated: August 2026 dataRotary and foil electric shavers with integral motors enter under a single 10-digit line (8510100000), with China the leading supplier and Germany and the Netherlands — home to major European shaver brands — ranking second and third. The heading is limited to shavers; trimmers, hair clippers, and hair-removing appliances are classified separately within heading 8510, and personal-care devices that combine shaving with other functions require careful review to confirm the correct line. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin shavers, while German and Dutch goods are not subject to those measures.

Electric shavers (8510.10) are designed to cut facial or body hair close to the skin using oscillating foil or rotating heads, without a blade guard setting. Hair clippers and trimmers (8510.20) are designed to cut or trim hair to a set length, typically using adjustable comb attachments. Combination grooming devices that include both shaving and trimming heads require a determination of essential character, usually based on the primary marketed function and the design of the cutting mechanism.
For substantial transformation purposes, the country of origin is where the last substantial transformation occurred. If final assembly, including motor integration and quality testing, takes place in Germany or the Netherlands, that country is typically the origin. Importers should retain manufacturing records, bills of materials, and assembly documentation. For shavers from these countries, origin matters not only for Section 301 avoidance but also for accurate country-of-origin marking on the product and packaging.
