HS Code for Hair brushes

Hair brushes are classified under HS code 9603.29. This classification is found within Chapter 96, which covers miscellaneous manufactured articles. Heading 9603 includes brooms, brushes, and mops. Specifically, the 9603.2x subseries covers brushes used for personal grooming (toilet brushes). While 9603.21 is reserved for toothbrushes, 9603.29 serves as the category for all other toilet brushes for use on the person, which includes hair brushes, nail brushes, and eyelash brushes. The classification applies regardless of the material of the handle (wood, plastic, or metal) or the bristles (natural hair, synthetic nylon, or wire). It also includes brushes that are designed to be parts of appliances, provided they are primarily used for personal grooming. The essential character of the item as a brush for human hair dictates its placement here under the General Rules of Interpretation.

Products Included

• Detangling brushes and vented hair brushes

Common Misclassification

Hair brushes are sometimes misclassified under 9603.90, which is for \"other\" brushes like industrial or cleaning brushes. However, because they are for personal use (toiletries), they must stay within 9603.2x. Another error involves electric hair brushes; if the device is a motorized rotating brush, it might be confused with 8510, but if it is a simple brush attachment or a non-motorized brush, 9603.29 remains correct. If the brush has an integrated heating element, it may move to 8516.32.
