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 851632 covers electric hair care appliances other than dryers (851631). These include flat irons/hair straighteners, curling irons, straightening brushes, hot air brushes/stylers, hair wavers, keratin straightening devices, multi-function styling systems with interchangeable heads, and automatic curlers. Straighteners dominate - ceramic or tourmaline plates heat hair to 150-230 degrees C. Due to high operating temperatures in body contact, specific safety requirements apply.

Regulatory requirements

LVD, EMC, RoHS 2, WEEE 2, and GPSR apply. Standard EN 60335-2-23 specifies safety requirements. Straighteners and curling irons must have thermal cutoff, auto shut-off after idle period, and thermally insulated handles. Battery-powered devices are subject to Battery Regulation. CE marking mandatory. Skin-contact materials should be safe and hypoallergenic.

Customs duties

MFN rates in TARIC. Not subject to CBAM. Major brands: ghd, Dyson, Philips, BaByliss, Remington, Braun. China is the main contract manufacturer. Classification requires hair care function other than drying. National VAT applies.

Ecodesign and energy labelling for appliances 8516 32

Heating appliances under CN 8516 32 are subject to EU ecodesign and energy labelling regulations. Water heaters (851610) require energy labels A+ to F. Microwave ovens and cooking plates must comply with LVD and EMC. MFN duty: 2.7%. Since 2024, USB-C requirements apply to devices with cable power under 100 W. WEEE registration and RoHS 2 are required.

Frequently asked questions

Are hair straighteners classified under 851632?
Yes. Hair straighteners (flat irons) with ceramic, tourmaline, or titanium plates heating hair to 150-230 degrees C are classified under CN 851632. Both domestic and professional models are classified here.
Are hot air brushes classified under 851632 or 851631?
Hot air brushes combining drying and styling require dominant function analysis. If the dominant function is styling (curling, straightening) with secondary drying, CN 851632 applies. If the dominant function is drying with secondary styling, CN 851631 may apply. In practice, many hot air brushes are classified under 851632.
Do hair straighteners require auto shut-off?
Yes. GPSR and EN 60335-2-23 require straighteners and curling irons to have auto shut-off after idle periods (typically 30-60 minutes). This is a critical fire safety feature. Absence of auto shut-off may result in market placement refusal in the EU.
Do heating appliances under 8516 32 require energy labels?
Some appliances under 8516 32 require energy labels, e.g., water heaters (851610). Cookers, toasters and coffee makers require CE (LVD + EMC) and RoHS 2.
