Eyebrow Ruler
An eyebrow ruler is a measuring tool designed to assist in creating symmetrical and evenly shaped eyebrows. It typically consists of a flexible, transparent plastic or metal strip marked with measurements and guides for angles and lengths.
Material:
- Plastic: Commonly acrylic or polypropylene, offering flexibility and affordability.
- Metal: Stainless steel provides durability and precision, often used in professional settings.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of an eyebrow ruler is to ensure uniformity in eyebrow shape, length, and angle. It aids in:
- Symmetry: Creating balanced eyebrows, particularly useful for individuals with sparse or uneven brows.
- Precision: Defining a specific eyebrow shape, avoiding over-plucking or unevenness.
- Professional Results: Achieving a polished, salon-quality look at home.
Function:
Eyebrow rulers function by providing a guide for:
- Length Measurement: Determining the ideal start, arch, and end points of the eyebrows. Common measurement points include the inner corner of the eye, the outer corner of the eye, and the bridge of the nose.
- Angle Guidance: Establishing the correct angle for the eyebrow arch, often based on facial features and desired style.
- Shape Definition: Outlining the desired eyebrow shape before plucking, waxing, threading, or applying makeup.
Usage Scenarios:
- Home Brow Shaping: Individuals performing DIY eyebrow grooming.
- Professional Salons: Estheticians and cosmetologists using the ruler to ensure consistent results for clients.
- Makeup Application: Guiding the application of eyebrow pencils, powders, or pomades for a defined shape.
- Microblading/Permanent Makeup: Used as a pre-measurement tool to map out the eyebrow shape before the procedure.
Common Types:
- Flexible Plastic Rulers: Most common type, affordable and easy to use. Often include markings for different eyebrow shapes.
- Metal Rulers: More durable and precise, preferred by professionals. May include adjustable angles.
- Calipers with Eyebrow Guides: Combine the functionality of calipers with pre-set measurements for eyebrows.
- Pre-Shaped Rulers: Designed with specific eyebrow shapes already outlined, simplifying the process for beginners.
- Digital Eyebrow Rulers: Utilize electronic sensors to provide precise measurements and digital displays. These are typically used by professionals.
Eyebrow rulers are instruments used for measuring and shaping eyebrows, typically falling under the category of drawing or mathematical calculating instruments, or potentially other instruments depending on the specific material and function.
The following HS codes may be relevant:
- 9017800000: This code covers “Other instruments”. The description indicates this is for instruments not specifically classified elsewhere. Given the specialized nature of an eyebrow ruler, and without further detail on its construction or function beyond basic measurement, this could be applicable. The base tariff is 5.3%, with a surcharge of 25.0%, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 60.3%.
- 9017208040: This code covers “Other drawing, marking-out or mathematical calculating instruments: Other Hand operated input devices which transmit position data to computer processors or displays (digitizers)”. If the eyebrow ruler is a digital device that transmits data to a computer for shaping or analysis, this code may be appropriate. The base tariff is 4.6%, with a surcharge of 25.0%, increasing to 30.0% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 59.6%.
It is important to determine whether the eyebrow ruler is a simple manual instrument or a digital device to select the correct HS code. If the ruler is made of plastic, codes relating to plastic articles may also be relevant, but further information on the material composition is needed.
