Businesses need to understand the customs classification rules to correctly classify their products for importing and exporting. Can you solve this customs classification challenge?


The Challenge

  • A portable hand-held electromechanical appliance for personal skincare.

  • The appliance is oval-shaped and measures approximately 75 × 80 × 30 mm.

  • It has a waterproof housing and a built-in electric motor producing vibrations (so-called sonic pulsations).

  • The outer surface of the appliance is made of silicone, with hypoallergenic silicone brushes on both sides.

  • The surface of the appliance is divided into three zones, each with a different thickness of brushes.

  • On the front side of the appliance, there is an on/off button and a button to increase/decrease the intensity of pulsation.

  • The appliance is designed to be used for cleansing the skin on the face with a cleanser and vibrating brushes.

  • When cleansing the skin, a facial massage occurs as an additional effect due to the pulsations.

  • The appliance is of the kind commonly used for domestic purposes when travelling etc.
