These items are disposable razors made of stainless steel blades and pivoting heads, with lubricating strips. Item Number WL-DB4N399L, contains four blades, and Item Number WL-PC5232L, contains 3 blades. You stated that the razors will be imported in retail packages without any extra or refill blade cartridges, i.e. one razor handle has one razor blades cartridge. Item Number WL-DB4N399L, will be packaged 4-piece per double blister card. Item Number WL-PC5232L, will be packaged 5-piece per double blister card.
The applicable subheading for Item Number WL-DB4N399L, Four Blades, and Item Number WL-PC5232L, Three Blades, will be 8212.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for razors and razor blades (including razor blade blanks in strips) and base metal parts thereof: razors.
