Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 330300 when importing or exporting perfumes and toilet waters. This code applies to products like scented body sprays and colognes packaged for retail sale.

This HS-6 line specifically covers finished perfumes and toilet waters, distinguishing them from other cosmetic preparations that may not have the same fragrance focus. For instance, while HS-6 3302 includes beauty or skincare products, 330300 is strictly for those with a primary scent component.

If you're dealing with products that are primarily for fragrance, such as eau de parfum or toilet water, this is the correct classification. In contrast, HS-6 3302 would apply to non-fragrance cosmetics like moisturizers or creams.

Understanding the nuances between these classifications can help ensure compliance and avoid delays in customs. If you’re unsure about a product's classification, consulting with a customs broker can provide clarity.
