8 declarable lines

Heading 3307 covers perfumery, cosmetic and toilet preparations that are not named in another heading of chapter 33. It is split by use: shaving preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations, room deodorizers and a residual Other group. Sellers of grooming, bath and home fragrance products usually land here when the item is not a skin care, hair or oral care product.
