Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 330491 when importing or exporting cosmetic powders, such as face powders or body powders. For example, a shipment of talcum powder intended for personal care would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers cosmetic powders that are not designed for lip, eye, or manicure/pedicure use. In contrast, HS-6 330490 includes other cosmetic preparations that may not fit the powder category, like creams or lotions.
When classifying under HS-6 330491, ensure your product is a powder form, whether compressed or loose. Products like setting powders or body dusting powders are typical examples that would be classified here.
If your product is a liquid or cream, it would not qualify under this HS-6 line. Instead, consider classifications under other headings that cover those forms.
