Last updated: July 2026 dataGermany leads US imports of safety razor blades and blade blanks in strips, a reflection of that country's long-standing precision-steel manufacturing base for shaving products. The US schedule distinguishes single-edge razor blades for shaving (8212200005) from other safety razor blades and blade blanks in strips (8212200010), with a general line (8212200000) also present. Blade blanks in strip form are intermediate goods used in downstream cartridge assembly, so classification as blanks versus finished blades can affect both duty treatment and supply-chain documentation requirements. Mexico and China are also significant sources, and Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin goods.
