Classification generally follows the essential character of the part. A component that is predominantly metal or another non-plastic material in terms of weight, value, or structural function is classified here; one that is predominantly plastic — even with metal inserts — would typically fall under plastic razor parts. Mixed-material articles should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, standard country-of-origin marking requirements apply to razor parts as they do to complete razors. Each part must be marked to indicate its country of origin unless it qualifies for a marking exception (e.g., too small to mark, or incorporated into a finished article before retail sale). Importers should also confirm whether any applicable trade-remedy orders cover parts as well as complete razors.
