Last updated: August 2026 dataNon-electric hair-grooming accessories — including decorative combs, barrettes, bobby pins, and non-electric curling grips — serve the mass-market personal-care and fashion accessories sectors and are among the most widely traded small consumer goods. Material composition (plastic, metal, horn, or tortoiseshell substitute) is a key classification variable, and articles made from certain natural materials may trigger CITES or wildlife-import considerations. Section 301 tariffs have affected a broad range of plastic and metal hair accessories sourced from China, making supplier diversification an active concern for importers.

Yes. Accessories made from tortoiseshell, ivory, or certain other natural animal materials may be subject to CITES controls or US Fish and Wildlife Service import restrictions, regardless of their commercial value. Importers should verify the material composition of any natural-material hair accessories before shipment and obtain any required permits.
The tariff treatment of hair accessories often varies by material — plastic, metal, rubber, and natural materials each may fall under different subheadings with distinct duty rates. Importers should ensure that commercial invoices specify the primary material of construction to support accurate classification and avoid potential redelivery or penalty exposure.
