BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Scope

CN 851631 covers electric hair dryers - handheld devices with built-in heating element and fan for drying and styling hair with hot air. The heading covers handheld pistol-type dryers, hood dryers, and wall-mounted hotel/bathroom dryers. Handheld dryers dominate - typical power is 1000-2400 W. Both domestic and professional salon models are classified here. Modern ionic technology dryers emit negative ions reducing static. Classification is based on GIR Rules 1 and 6.

Regulatory requirements

LVD, EMC, RoHS 2, WEEE 2, and GPSR apply. Standard EN 60335-2-23 specifies safety requirements including thermal cutoff, air intake filter protection, and electric shock protection in bathrooms. CE marking mandatory. Battery-powered dryers are subject to Battery Regulation.

Customs duties

MFN rates in TARIC. Not subject to CBAM. China is the main exporter. Major brands: Dyson, Philips, Braun, Remington, Rowenta. National VAT applies.
