What decides the code
A car air freshener is a perfuming or deodorizing preparation of heading 3307, classified under 3307.49.00.00 when it is a hanging or vent clip type.
- The product is a preparation for perfuming or deodorizing a space, which places it in heading 3307.
- It is put up for retail sale as a hanging or vent clip air freshener, so it falls to 3307.49.00.00.
- The article works by releasing fragrance from a scented solid or absorbed liquid, not by burning or spraying.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a hanging air freshener in 3307.41.00.00 is wrong because that line covers odoriferous preparations used during religious rites, not car use.
- Putting a scented vent clip in 3307.90.00.00 is wrong because that residual subheading does not cover room perfuming preparations.
- Treating a hanging air freshener as a plastic article of chapter 39 is wrong because the perfuming function gives the article its essential character.
