Electric hair clippers (barbershop/salon grade and consumer grade) and beard/moustache trimmers are classified under 8510.20. Cordless and corded models are classified identically. Body hair trimmers (ear, nose, eyebrow) are 8510.20 or 8510.30 (hair-removing appliances) — if the device has oscillating blades that trim but don't epilate at the root, it's 8510.20. Pet hair clippers and grooming trimmers follow the same classification (8510.20) — the pet vs. human use doesn't affect the heading. Clipper blades and guard combs imported as spare parts or accessories are 8510.90. Professional barbershop clippers (with more powerful motor and larger blade) are classified identically to consumer models.
