Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 960500 when importing or exporting travel sets that include items for personal grooming, sewing, or cleaning shoes and clothes. For instance, a set containing a comb, nail clippers, and a small sewing kit would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers travel sets designed for personal toilet use, sewing, and cleaning. It differs from HS-6 960400, which pertains to other types of articles like brushes and combs that are not packaged as sets.
When classifying products, ensure that the items are packaged together as a set. If you have individual items like a nail file or a shoe brush sold separately, they would not qualify under this HS-6.
Travel sets often come in compact cases or pouches, making them convenient for travelers. If your shipment includes a toiletry bag with grooming tools, it likely fits under this classification.
