- 3304.20.00.00: Eye make-up preparations
What decides the code
Eyeliner is an eye make-up preparation classified under heading 3304, specifically subheading 3304.20.00.00, whether it is liquid or pencil form.
- The product is an eye make-up preparation, which places it in heading 3304 and subheading 3304.20.00.00.
- Liquid and pencil eyeliners both fall under 3304.20.00.00, so the physical form does not change the code.
- A product marketed for skin care rather than eye make-up would move to a different subheading of heading 3304.
Common mistakes
- Classifying eyeliner under 3304.99.50.00 as a skin care preparation is wrong because eyeliner is eye make-up, covered by 3304.20.00.00.
- Classifying eyeliner pencils under 9609 as pencils is wrong because these are cosmetic preparations of heading 3304, not writing or drawing pencils.
