Classification of air freshener under HS 3307.49
Air fresheners designed for room deodorization are classified under HS code 3307.49. This heading is found in Chapter 33, which covers essential oils, resinoids, and perfumery preparations. Heading 3307 includes various personal and room preparations. Subheading 3307.49 specifically covers preparations for perfuming or deodorizing rooms, excluding those that operate by burning. The classification covers a wide range of products, including sprays, gels, and liquid diffusers, provided their primary purpose is to alter the scent of an indoor environment. The exclusion of burning preparations is a key distinction, as those are classified under 3307.41. The chemical composition, typically involving fragrances, solvents, and carriers, aligns these products with the perfumery and cosmetic preparations of Chapter 33 rather than industrial chemicals.

Codes often confused with 3307.49
Common mistake. Air fresheners are often confused with HS code 3307.41, which is specifically for "Agarbatti" and other odoriferous preparations which operate by burning. If the product requires a flame or heat to release scent (like incense sticks), it belongs in 3307.41. Another misclassification is 3401.19, which covers soap and organic surface-active products. While some air fresheners have cleaning properties, their primary function as a room deodorizer dictates classification in 3307.49.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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. 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).
