HS-4 · Heading
3304 — Cosmetic and toilet preparations; beauty, make-up and skin care preparations (excluding medicaments, including sunscreen or sun tan preparations), manicure or pedicure preparations
Chapter 33: Essential oils and resinoids
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 3304 when importing cosmetic and toilet preparations such as lipsticks, eye shadows, or skin creams. For example, a shipment of moisturizing lotion would fall under this heading.
When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider that 330410 covers lip make-up products, while 330420 is for eye make-up. If your product is a lip balm, you would classify it under 330410.
If you're importing a nail polish, it should be classified under 330430 for manicure or pedicure preparations. However, if your product is a facial powder not intended for lips or eyes, it belongs under 330491.
For items that don't fit neatly into the previous categories, such as a general skin care cream, you would use 330499, which covers other cosmetic preparations for skin care.
