Last updated: May 2026 dataRazors — encompassing safety, cartridge, and disposable designs — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (8212100000), making the heading straightforward to classify but commercially competitive. Mexico is the leading supplier, reflecting major consumer-goods manufacturing operations there, with Greece and Germany also prominent sources tied to established European personal-care brands. Because razors are personal-care consumer products rather than food, drug, or regulated biological articles, no mandatory admissibility agency review applies at entry. Section 301 exposure is relevant for Chinese-origin razors, though China ranks fourth among suppliers to this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Electric shavers are classified under heading 8510 (electromechanical domestic appliances), not under 8212. Heading 821210 covers non-electric razors — including safety, cartridge, and disposable types — made of base metal. Importers of electric shavers should consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct HTS classification.
Greece hosts manufacturing facilities for major multinational personal-care companies that produce razor cartridge systems and disposable razors for global distribution. This reflects investment in EU-based production rather than a domestic Greek razor industry, and it means Greek-origin razors may carry EU-standard quality certifications relevant to retail buyers.
