Import Tips
• Verify the devices are explicitly nonthermic and nonornamental to avoid reclassification to heated curlers in 8516
• Include detailed product specs and photos in documentation to prove hair-curling function
• Check country-of-origin rules as many are made in China or Vietnam with varying duty rates
