What decides the code
A disposable safety razor with a base metal blade and handle is classified under heading 8212, specifically 8212.10.00.00, which covers razors and their base metal parts.
- The article is a razor with a cutting blade, so it falls in heading 8212 rather than in a general hand tool heading.
- The blade and handle are base metal, which keeps the goods inside heading 8212 and its base metal parts coverage.
- It is a safety razor, so it takes 8212.10.00.00 rather than the subheading for razor blades or blade blanks.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 8212.20 is wrong because that subheading covers razor blades, not a complete razor with a handle.
- Putting the razor in 8214 is wrong because that heading covers other cutlery and manicure sets, not shaving razors.
- Classifying in 8205 is wrong because that heading covers hand tools such as screwdrivers and pliers, not razors.
