Classification risk & HTS split
Electric toothbrushes route to HTS 8509.80.50 (other domestic electromechanical appliances with self-contained electric motor) at 2.8% MFN. Sonic and rotating-oscillating subtypes share the same classification; replacement head retail packs face the separately-classified 9603.21.00 (toothbrushes including dental-plate brushes — Free). The combined retail set (handle + heads + charger) usually classifies per GRI 3(b) as the electric appliance giving the set its essential character.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for electric toothbrush from China?
Start from the product name or local HS code, anchor on HS6, then compare US HTS candidate descriptions. Electric toothbrush can split after HS6 by material, use, construction, or function; the applicable Chapter 99 overlays differ between China and China origins.
Does China origin trigger Section 301?
Yes. Section 301 (9903.88.x) stacks on top of MFN for China-origin goods; the active subheading list is maintained by USTR.
