Last updated: April 2026 dataRetail packaging format is a key classification variable within this heading: the US schedule distinguishes individual manicure/pedicure instruments not in sets (8214203000), sets in leather cases for retail sale (8214206000), and sets in non-leather containers for retail sale (8214209000). China overwhelmingly leads supply, with Vietnam and Pakistan also significant sources. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin goods, making sourcing diversification to Vietnam and Pakistan a common cost-management strategy. South Korea and Germany supply higher-specification instruments, often marketed to professional salon channels.

Yes. Under the US schedule, sets presented in leather cases for retail sale are classified at 8214206000, while sets in non-leather containers for retail sale fall under 8214209000. Individual instruments not packaged as sets are classified at 8214203000. Importers should ensure that the packaging format declared on the entry matches the physical presentation of the goods, as CBP may examine retail packaging at the port.
No. Heading 821420 covers manicure and pedicure instruments and sets of base metal. Nail files made of glass, emery board, or other non-metal materials are classified under different headings depending on their constituent material. When a set contains both metal and non-metal instruments, the classification of the set as a whole is typically determined by the essential character of the set or by specific HTS notes — a licensed customs broker should be consulted for mixed-material sets.
