Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 330530 when importing or exporting hair lacquers, which are products designed to style and hold hair in place. For example, a shipment of aerosol hair spray falls under this code.
This code specifically covers hair preparations that are applied to the hair to provide a firm hold or finish. In contrast, HS-6 330540 addresses hair coloring preparations, which serve a different purpose.
When classifying products under this heading, it’s important to note that hair lacquers are typically found in spray or liquid form, often packaged in aerosol cans or bottles. They may contain polymers or resins that create a lasting hold.
If you’re dealing with products like hair gels or mousses, those would fall under different HS codes, such as HS-6 330520. Understanding these distinctions can help avoid misclassification.
