Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 330690 when importing or exporting oral or dental hygiene preparations that are not classified as dentifrices. This includes items like dental floss and other cleaning products packaged for retail sale.
This code specifically covers a variety of dental hygiene products, contrasting with HS-6 330610, which is reserved for dentifrices like toothpaste. If your product is a mouthwash or a dental cleaning aid that doesn't fit the dentifrice category, 330690 is likely the correct classification.
Common products under this HS-6 include individual packages of dental floss, mouth rinses, and other oral hygiene aids. If you have a product that cleans teeth or gums but isn't a paste or gel, check if it fits here.
Be mindful of packaging and labeling, as these can affect classification. For instance, if your product is sold in a retail package specifically for oral hygiene, it will likely qualify under this code.
