What decides the code
An electric shaver is a shaving appliance with a self-contained electric motor, classified under heading 8510, specifically subheading 8510.10.00.00 for shavers.
- A self-contained electric motor makes it a heading 8510 appliance, and the shaving function places it in subheading 8510.10.00.00.
- Rotary or foil cutting action does not change the code, both types fall under 8510.10.00.00.
- A shaver that runs only from an external power source without a self-contained motor does not fit heading 8510.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 8510.20 as a hair clipper is wrong, because 8510.20 covers hair clippers, not shavers.
- Classifying under 8509 as an electromechanical domestic appliance is wrong, because heading 8510 specifically covers shavers.
- Classifying under 8516 as an electrothermic appliance is wrong, because a shaver cuts hair and does not heat.
