- 3303.00.30.00: Perfumes and toilet waters / Containing alcohol
What decides the code
Perfume is a toiletry preparation classed in heading 3303, and eau de parfum containing alcohol falls under 3303.00.30.00.
- Heading 3303 covers perfumes and toilet waters, so a scented alcohol based fragrance product belongs here.
- The product contains alcohol, which places it in the alcohol containing subheading 3303.00.30.00.
- A change to a non alcohol formulation would move the product out of this alcohol subheading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying eau de parfum in 3307 is wrong because that heading covers other cosmetic preparations, not perfumes and toilet waters.
- Putting perfume in 3304 is wrong because that heading covers beauty and skin care preparations, not fragrance products.
- Using 3302 is wrong because that heading covers mixtures of odoriferous substances used as raw materials, not finished perfume.
