- 3305.30.00.00: Preparations for use on the hair / Hair lacquers
What decides the code
Hair spray is a preparation for use on the hair, put up for retail sale, and aerosol hair lacquers classify under heading 3305, specifically 3305.30.00.00.
- The product is a preparation for use on the hair, which places it in heading 3305 rather than a general cosmetic or chemical heading.
- It is a hair lacquer, the finishing spray that holds the style, so it falls to subheading 3305.30.00.00.
- It is put up in aerosol form for retail use, which fits the hair lacquer line as sold to consumers.
Common mistakes
- Classifying hair spray under 3307 as a personal care preparation is wrong because heading 3305 covers hair preparations specifically.
- Putting it in 3402 with surface-active preparations is wrong because hair lacquer is a hair preparation, not a cleaning or wetting agent.
- Classifying it under 3808 or 3824 as a chemical preparation is wrong because the product is a retail hair cosmetic of heading 3305.
