U.S. imports of toothbrushes, including dental-plate brushes (HS 960321) totaled $22.5M in April 2026, traded with 23 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataImports of toothbrushes and dental-plate brushes enter under a single US tariff line (9603210000) and are subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China, which dominates supply by a wide margin. Germany and Switzerland are notable alternative sources, particularly for premium electric-compatible and orthodontic brush heads that command higher unit values. Buyers sourcing from China should factor Section 301 exposure into landed-cost calculations, while those diversifying to European suppliers should verify country-of-origin documentation carefully given the complexity of multi-country brush assembly.

Yes. Toothbrushes classified under 9603210000 and originating from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty. Importers should confirm the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
Both dental-plate brushes and conventional toothbrushes fall within the same 10-digit tariff line (9603210000) — there is no separate US subdivision distinguishing them. Classification disputes can arise when a brush is marketed for denture cleaning but has features resembling a general cleaning brush; the intended use and product design are the key classification factors.
