What decides the code
A body scrub is a skin care preparation of heading 3304, classified under 3304.99.50.00 when it is a sugar or salt scrub.
- The product is a preparation for the care of the skin, which places it in heading 3304.
- The scrub is built on sugar or salt, so it takes 3304.99.50.00 as an other preparation of heading 3304.
- A product that is a medicament rather than a cosmetic skin preparation is excluded from heading 3304.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a sugar or salt body scrub in 3307.30 as a bath preparation is wrong because heading 3307 covers bath salts and similar bath products, not skin care scrubs.
- Putting the scrub in 3401 as soap is wrong because a scrub whose cleaning action comes from sugar or salt is a skin care preparation of heading 3304, not a soap.
- Classifying it in 3304.99.10 as a skin care preparation with sunscreen is wrong because a body scrub carries no sunscreen and belongs in the other residual line.
