Last updated: April 2026 dataBattery-powered and corded hair clippers with integrated motors are widely traded consumer-grooming appliances that have faced Section 301 tariff exposure given the dominant role of Chinese manufacturing in this category. Classification hinges on the self-contained motor distinction — units where the motor is integral to the clipper body fall here, while accessories such as blades and cutter heads are separately classified. Importers should confirm motor integration and power-supply specifications at the line level to avoid misclassification into shaver or trimmer headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Hair clippers are designed to cut hair by a reciprocating or rotary blade action and are classified separately from shavers, which are designed primarily for facial hair removal. The self-contained motor requirement means the motor must be housed within the clipper unit itself; externally powered tools driven by a separate motor unit fall outside this heading.
No. Blades and cutter heads are explicitly excluded from both the clipper heading and the related parts heading (77549). They are typically classified under their own applicable heading based on material and function, so importers should verify the correct classification for blade-only shipments separately.
