- 3304.10.00.00: Lip make-up preparations
What decides the code
Lip gloss is a lip make-up preparation of heading 3304, classified under 3304.10.00.00 when it is a liquid preparation.
- Lip gloss is a cosmetic for the lips, so it falls in heading 3304 as a lip make-up preparation.
- The liquid form is classified under 3304.10.00.00, the line for lip make-up preparations.
- A product sold for skin care rather than lip color would move to a different heading in chapter 33.
Common mistakes
- Classifying lip gloss under 3304.99 is wrong because that line covers skin care preparations, not lip make-up.
- Putting lip gloss in 3307 is wrong because heading 3307 covers cosmetic preparations not named elsewhere, and lip make-up is named in 3304.
