Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 330430 when importing or exporting manicure or pedicure preparations like nail polish or cuticle oil. For instance, a shipment of 500 bottles of nail polish remover falls under this code.

This code specifically covers cosmetic preparations designed for nail care, which distinguishes it from HS-6 330491, which pertains to beauty or make-up preparations for the face. If you're dealing with products like nail strengtheners or foot scrubs, this is the right classification.

Manicure and pedicure preparations can include a variety of products, such as nail files, buffers, and even scented foot soaks. Understanding the specific nature of your product is crucial for proper classification.

If you're unsure whether your product fits under this code, consider its primary use. For example, a product primarily marketed as a foot lotion would not qualify under this HS-6 but might belong to a different category.
