What decides the code
Hair oil is a cosmetic preparation for use on the hair, classified under heading 3305, specifically subheading 3305.90.00.00 as an other hair preparation.
- The product is a preparation applied to the hair for care, which places it in heading 3305.
- It is not a shampoo, permanent wave preparation, or hair lacquer, so it falls to the residual subheading 3305.90.00.00.
- A product marketed and used as a skin or bath preparation instead of a hair preparation would move to heading 3306.
Common mistakes
- Classifying hair oil under 3305.10.00.00 as shampoo is wrong because that subheading covers shampoos, not leave-in or treatment oils.
- Classifying hair oil under 3305.20.00.00 is wrong because that subheading covers permanent wave and straightening preparations.
- Classifying hair oil under 3305.30.00.00 is wrong because that subheading covers hair lacquers.
