Last updated: April 2026 dataAssembled travel sets designed for personal grooming, sewing repair, or shoe and clothes care are classified as a unit based on their set composition rather than by individual component materials. The key classification principle is that the set must be put up for retail sale and contain articles of a kind used together for a specific purpose — a grooming kit with a comb, mirror, and nail file, or a sewing kit with needles, thread, and scissors, for example. Importers should ensure that the set's retail packaging and invoice description clearly reflect the intended use, as mixed-content sets can attract scrutiny over whether they qualify as a set or should be classified component by component.

The articles must be put up together for retail sale, consist of products used together for a specific activity (grooming, sewing, or shoe/clothes care), and be presented in a case or container suitable for long-term use. If the set does not meet these criteria, each component may need to be classified separately under its own heading.
For travel sets classified under this heading, the case material generally does not change the classification — the set is classified as a whole based on its function. However, if the case is sold separately or the set does not qualify as a set, the case itself would be classified under the appropriate travel goods heading based on its outer surface material.
