HTS code for curling iron: record the heated styling tool facts

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A curling iron may be a simple heated barrel, automatic curler, cordless curling tool, curling wand, hot brush, multi-styler, replacement barrel, or accessory kit. A product title rarely tells you which one is being imported.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should show the heating tool, electrical facts, attachments, and any missing evidence.

quick answer

For "hts code for curling iron", collect tool type, barrel diameter, heating plate or barrel material, wattage, voltage, plug type, temperature range, cord or battery, attachments, case, glove, origin, and supplier code.

A corded curling iron is not the same file as a cordless heated tool with battery. A replacement barrel or glove should not be reviewed like a complete electric styling tool.

facts to collect for a curling iron

Collect:

• Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
• Photos of tool, barrel, clamp, handle, cord, plug, rating label, controls, attachments, packaging, and accessories.
• Type: curling iron, curling wand, automatic curler, hot brush, multi-styler, cordless tool, part, or kit.
• Wattage, voltage, plug type, temperature range, heating element, and cord length.
• Barrel diameter, coating, material, clamp, rotating feature, display, timer, or safety shutoff.
• Battery chemistry and capacity for cordless models.
• Included glove, mat, pouch, clips, interchangeable barrels, brush heads, charger, or adapter.
• Whether the shipment is a complete tool, replacement barrel, accessory, or set.
• Country of origin and production support.
• Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If interchangeable barrels are included, list each barrel and attachment. If it is cordless, collect battery and charger facts.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

• Tool type is unclear.
• Wattage, voltage, or temperature range is missing.
• Barrel material or size is not documented.
• Battery, charger, or accessory contents are not listed.
• The goods may be a part or accessory rather than a complete tool.
• Origin is assumed.
• Supplier code is unsupported.
• Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the record between personal-care appliance, heated tool, accessory set, part, or battery-powered device.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the imported article: corded curling iron, curling wand, automatic curler, hot brush, cordless styling tool, replacement barrel, charger, or accessory kit. Each row should cite a fact.

For multi-stylers, write down every attachment. For cordless tools, record battery facts and charger contents. For parts, do not rely on the complete-tool path without explaining the imported part.

authority sources

• USITC HTS
• CBP CROSS
• 19 CFR 177.2
• CBP rulings guidance

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for electric hair styling tools, personal-care appliances, heated brushes, parts, and sets.

planning path

Start with the rating label and photos. Then write tool type, power source, heat function, barrel facts, attachments, origin, and supplier code into a product table. Anything missing goes into Missing Facts.

Duty stack review should include origin and the proposed HTS family. If the battery pack, heating tool, and final assembly come from different countries, record what the supplier can prove.

planning boundary

This curling iron HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
