Last updated: August 2026 dataEpilators, electric wax-strip devices, and similar motorized depilatory appliances all classify under a single 10-digit line (8510300000), making this one of the more straightforward headings in Chapter 85 from a classification standpoint. The consumer personal-care market drives most import volume, with product differentiation based on motor speed, attachment count, and wet/dry capability rather than tariff line. Section 301 exposure applies to units of Chinese origin, so country-of-origin documentation is a key compliance focus for importers sourcing from Asia.

Classification of combination grooming devices depends on the essential character or principal function. A device whose primary function is hair removal by epilation would typically fall under 851030, while one primarily designed as a shaver would fall under 851010. Importers should review the product's marketing materials, design specifications, and any applicable CBP rulings before declaring the classification.
CBP may request manufacturer's affidavits, production records, or bills of materials to substantiate origin, particularly for goods assembled in third countries using Chinese-origin components. A substantial transformation analysis is typically required when components and final assembly occur in different countries.
