Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 9616 when importing scent sprays, like a perfume spray bottle, or cosmetic application tools such as powder puffs. This heading covers both scent sprays and the accessories that accompany them, ensuring you classify your goods correctly.

When deciding between HS-6 961610 and HS-6 961620, consider the primary function of your product. If your item is a spray bottle or a similar device for applying fragrances or cosmetics, it falls under 961610.
