Face powder is a cosmetic make-up preparation classified under heading 3304, specifically subheading 3304.91.00.50 for powders, whether or not compressed.
- The product is a cosmetic make-up preparation for the face, which places it in heading 3304.
- It is a powder, whether pressed or loose, so it falls under subheading 3304.91.
- The specific statistical line 3304.91.00.50 covers powders other than those named earlier in the subheading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying face powder under 3304.99 is wrong because that line covers other make-up preparations, not powders.
- Putting face powder in 3305 is wrong because heading 3305 covers hair preparations, not face make-up.
- Claiming 3304.91 for a medicated acne powder is wrong because medicaments are excluded from heading 3304.
