- 3307.41.00.00: "Agarbatti" and other odoriferous preparations which operate by burning
What decides the code
Incense sticks are odoriferous preparations that operate by burning, classified under heading 3307 in subheading 3307.41.00.00.
- The product operates by burning, which places it in the subheading for agarbatti and other odoriferous preparations used by burning.
- The product perfumes or deodorizes rooms or is used in religious rites, which brings it under the room perfuming provisions of heading 3307.
- Incense that works by another method, such as a spray or liquid, would not fall in the burning subheading and would be classified elsewhere in heading 3307.
Common mistakes
- Classifying incense sticks under heading 3303 as perfumes is wrong because that heading covers liquid perfumes and toilet waters, not preparations that operate by burning.
- Classifying incense under heading 3307 as a prepared room deodorizer alone is wrong when the product is an odoriferous preparation that operates by burning, which takes the 3307.41 subheading.
