Last updated: April 2026 dataSafety razor blades — including unfinished blade blanks supplied in strip form for downstream processing — occupy a distinct classification from complete razors, reflecting the global supply chain in which blade manufacturing and razor assembly often occur in different countries. Blade blanks in strips are an intermediate industrial input, and their classification as blades (rather than steel strip) depends on their degree of processing and evident dedication to blade production. Importers should confirm whether applicable Section 301 or antidumping measures affect their specific source country, as blade manufacturing is concentrated in a limited number of global facilities.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Blade blanks in strips are classifiable as safety razor blades when they have been processed to the point where their dedicated use as razor blades is clearly established — typically after hardening, tempering, or edge-forming operations that distinguish them from general-purpose steel strip. Minimally processed steel that could serve multiple end uses may be classified as steel rather than blades.
Depending on country of origin, safety razor blades may be subject to Section 301 tariffs or antidumping/countervailing duty orders. Importers should check the current scope of any applicable orders with CBP or a licensed customs broker, as blade manufacturing is geographically concentrated and trade-remedy coverage can shift.
