Curling Iron / Curling Wand — HS Code

Classification Notes

Curling irons, curling wands, and spiral curlers are classified under 8516.32 as electrothermic hair-dressing apparatus. The barrel diameter, clamp type, and heat settings have no effect on classification. Multi-styler sets combining a straightener, curling iron, and crimper in one unit are 8516.32 by essential character (all functions are 8516.32, GRI 3(c) ties are resolved by last-listed heading). Automatic rotating curling irons are 8516.32. Hot rollers (sets of heated rollers) are 8516.32. Air curlers (which use an air vortex instead of direct heat) are 8516.72 (hair dryer type) or 8516.32 depending on whether the heating element or air blowing is the primary mechanism.
