What HS 3307.41 covers

This HS code covers perfuming or deodorizing preparations for rooms that operate by burning, including incense sticks (agarbatti) and other odoriferous preparations used during religious rites. It's a significant category in international trade, particularly for countries with rich cultural and spiritual traditions where incense plays a vital role. Major exporters often include Asian nations like India, China, and Vietnam, known for their traditional manufacturing of these items. Importers range from religious organizations and specialty stores to general retailers in countries with diverse populations. Key things to know include the raw materials used (e.g., bamboo sticks, charcoal, essential oils, resins), the cultural significance driving demand, and the varying quality and fragrance profiles available in the global market. Trade in these goods is often influenced by religious festivals and cultural events.

Codes often confused with 3307.41

Common mistake. This code is often confused with 330749 (non-burning room deodorizers) because both relate to room fragrancing, but the key differentiator is the 'burning' mechanism. It can also be mistaken for scented candles (340600) if the primary function is perceived as illumination rather than solely odoriferous.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
