Last updated: April 2026 dataManicure and pedicure instruments — nail clippers, cuticle pushers, nail files, scissors, and complete sets combining several of these — are a widely traded personal-care hardware category with strong retail and professional-salon demand. Sets are classified as a unit when packaged together for retail sale, while individual instruments imported in bulk may be classified separately depending on their specific form. Section 301 tariffs are a material cost consideration for this category given the concentration of manufacturing in certain Asian countries, and importers should verify applicable duty rates at the HTS line level with a licensed customs broker.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A manicure or pedicure set imported with a case is generally classified as a set under this heading when the case is specially shaped or fitted for the instruments and is of a kind normally sold with them. The case does not trigger a separate classification unless it has independent commercial significance beyond housing the instruments.
Nail files of various materials — metal, glass, ceramic, or abrasive-coated board — are all classifiable here when they function as nail-care instruments. The material of construction does not shift classification to a different heading, though it may affect the specific HTS subheading at the 10-digit level. Importers should confirm the precise subheading with reference to the article's material and form.
