Last updated: April 2026 dataCurling irons, flat irons used as styling tools, hot rollers, and similar heat-styling appliances that are not hair dryers fall under this heading, with the US schedule distinguishing electric hair curlers (8516320020) from other electrothermic hairdressing apparatus (8516320040). The Philippines leads US supply — an unusual sourcing profile compared with most consumer electronics categories — followed by China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Chinese-origin goods are subject to Section 301 tariffs. CPSC regulations and UL 859 safety requirements apply to these personal-care appliances, and importers should ensure that temperature-limiting and cord-protection features meet current US standards.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Several major consumer-appliance brands established manufacturing operations in the Philippines specifically for personal-care products, taking advantage of the country's skilled assembly workforce and established export infrastructure. This gives Philippine-origin goods a structural sourcing advantage in this niche that is distinct from the broader electronics supply chain concentrated in China and Vietnam.
Multi-function styling tools are generally classified by their principal function or, if no single function predominates, under the subheading that appears last in numerical order among the applicable provisions, per General Rule of Interpretation 3(c). In practice, CBP may also consider which function is marketed as primary. A binding ruling request to CBP is the most reliable way to confirm classification for novel combination devices before importation.
