Import Tips

• Include technical specs on rubber durometer hardness in import docs to affirm 'hard rubber' status

• Separate from sets; individual combs classify here, while hair styling kits may use 9615.90

• Comply with FDA cosmetic tool regs if marketed for personal care, though tariff focuses on HTS
