HTS code for hair dryer: document the heating and airflow appliance

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A hair dryer file needs more than "beauty appliance." The shipment may be a handheld dryer, brush dryer, professional salon dryer, wall-mounted dryer, travel dryer, diffuser attachment, nozzle, replacement motor, or combo styling kit. Heat, airflow, motor, and accessories all belong in the record.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use file before broker review. The file should describe the appliance as imported and make Missing Facts visible.

quick answer

For "hts code for hair dryer", collect dryer type, wattage, voltage, plug type, motor type if known, heat settings, speed settings, ionic or ceramic claims, folding handle, attachments, cord, origin, and supplier code.

A complete handheld dryer should not be reviewed the same way as a diffuser nozzle or replacement heating element. A hot air brush also needs a separate fact check because brushing and styling features may affect the review.

facts to collect for a hair dryer

Collect:

• Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
• Photos of dryer, rating label, plug, cord, control panel, air inlet, attachments, packaging, and accessories.
• Type: handheld dryer, travel dryer, hot air brush, salon dryer, wall-mounted dryer, part, or accessory.
• Wattage, voltage, plug type, cord length, and heat or speed settings.
• Motor type, heating element, ion generator, ceramic coating, brush head, or diffuser if documented.
• Included concentrator, diffuser, comb, brush head, pouch, stand, adapter, or spare filter.
• Whether the shipment is a complete appliance, attachment, motor, heating element, or kit.
• Country of origin and production support.
• Supplier HS or HTS code and any source notes.

If the product is a hot air brush, collect brush head and heating details. If it is a diffuser attachment, do not review it as the whole dryer.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

• Product type is unclear.
• Wattage, voltage, or plug type is missing.
• Heat, motor, airflow, or attachment facts are not documented.
• The goods may be a styling brush, wall unit, part, or accessory.
• Origin is assumed.
• Supplier code is unsupported.
• Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.
• Duty stack exposure has not been reviewed.

These gaps can change the review from a personal-care appliance to a part, accessory, or styling device.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the imported article: hair dryer, hot air brush, salon dryer, wall-mounted dryer, attachment, heating element, motor, or kit. Each candidate needs the fact that supports it.

For attachment-only shipments, record material and compatible dryer model. For complete dryers, record the rating label and included attachments. For combo styling kits, list every head in the case.

authority sources

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

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

planning path

Start with the rating label and product photos. Then write the appliance type, wattage, heat function, airflow function, attachments, origin, and supplier code. If the product is not a complete dryer, say that at the top.

Duty stack review should include origin and the proposed HTS family. If the heating element, motor, and final assembly come from different countries, record the evidence available.

planning boundary

This hair dryer 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.
