Chapter 33: Essential oils and resinoids

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3303 when importing perfumes and toilet waters, such as a shipment of 100 liters of fragrance oil for cosmetic use. This code covers products designed for personal care and scenting purposes, ensuring compliance with customs regulations.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider that 330300 specifically refers to perfumes and toilet waters, which are typically alcohol-based mixtures. If your product includes essential oils but is not primarily a fragrance, it may fall under a different heading.

If your shipment contains a blend of perfumes and cosmetic preparations, you may need to evaluate whether it fits better under HS-4 3303 or another heading. Products with significant cosmetic claims could be classified differently, so review the product's intended use carefully.
