Last updated: April 2026 dataBase metal parts for razors — such as handles, cartridge frames, and pivot mechanisms — are classified here when they are not blades. Mexico is the primary supplier, consistent with its role as a major hub for consumer-goods component manufacturing serving the US market, with China and Israel also notable sources. Because this heading covers only non-blade parts, importers must take care not to include blade components, which belong under 821220. Goods of Mexican origin may qualify for USMCA preferential treatment if rules-of-origin requirements are met, and Canadian-origin parts are similarly eligible under USMCA.

Parts under 821290 include non-blade components such as handles, guards, caps, cartridge frames, and pivot assemblies made of base metal. Blades and blade blanks are explicitly excluded and must be classified under 821220. If an imported assembly contains both a handle and a blade, the classification of the complete article — rather than its parts — typically governs, and a licensed customs broker should be consulted.
Israel hosts precision-manufacturing operations for major global personal-care companies, particularly in the production of razor cartridge components and metal parts. This reflects corporate investment in Israeli manufacturing capacity rather than a broad domestic industry, and importers should verify origin documentation carefully when goods transit through multiple countries before US entry.
