What decides the code
A pressed powder eyeshadow palette is an eye make-up preparation classified under heading 3304, specifically 3304.20.00.00.
- The product is a cosmetic preparation for the eyes, which places it in heading 3304 as an eye make-up preparation.
- It is a pressed powder, so it falls under 3304.20.00.00 rather than a cream or liquid eye preparation.
- The palette is applied to the eye area for color, which keeps it in eye make-up and not skin care.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the palette under 3304.99.50.00 as a skin care preparation is wrong because the product is made and labeled for eye make-up.
- Putting it in 3303 as a powder is wrong because 3303 covers face and body powders, not eye make-up.
- Classifying it under 9603 as an applicator is wrong because the palette itself is the cosmetic, not the brush or sponge.
