What decides the code
Shampoo is a hair preparation classified under heading 3305, specifically subheading 3305.10.00.00 for shampoos.
- The product is a preparation for use on the hair, which places it in heading 3305.
- It is a shampoo, the specific article named in subheading 3305.10.00.00, so that line applies.
- Liquid form fits the subheading as written. A product sold as a hair preparation other than shampoo would fall elsewhere in heading 3305.
Common mistakes
- Classifying shampoo under 3401 is wrong. That heading covers soap and organic surface-active washing preparations for skin, not hair preparations.
- Putting shampoo in 3307 is wrong. That heading covers hair preparations other than shampoos, such as lotions and dressings.
- Classifying shampoo under 3304 is wrong. That heading covers beauty and skin care preparations, not preparations for use on the hair.
