Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 9615 encompasses combs, hair-slides, and similar articles; hairpins, curling pins, curling grips, hair-curlers, and similar articles for hairdressing. The classification distinguishes between items made of hard rubber or plastics (9615.11) and other materials (9615.19-9615.90). This personal grooming accessories category includes implements for hair arrangement, styling, and management. Products range from simple combs to decorative hair ornaments and specialized styling tools. Technical specifications focus on appropriate tooth spacing and profile for intended hair types, durability under repeated use, and for decorative items, aesthetic quality and attachment security. Manufacturing involves molding, casting, or fabrication processes appropriate to material type, often with finishing operations for comfort and appearance enhancement. Unlike electrical hair treatment appliances (HS 8516), these items rely on manual operation and mechanical interaction with hair. This division represents basic personal care implements used across cultures and throughout history for practical hair management and aesthetic enhancement, combining functional design with decorative elements in items that blend utility with personal expression and style.
