HS code for Bath bombs: 3307.30
Perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations.
Classification of bath bombs under HS 3307.30
Bath bombs are classified under HS code 3307.30 as they are defined as perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations. These products are typically composed of a mixture of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, essential oils, and pigments that create an effervescent effect when submerged in water. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 33 encompasses essential oils, resinoids, and perfumery or cosmetic preparations. Subheading 3307.30 is specifically designated for products intended to be added to bath water to provide fragrance, skin conditioning, or aesthetic effects. Even though bath bombs may contain surfactants that provide a minor cleaning action, their primary purpose is the aromatic and sensory experience of the bath, which excludes them from the soap category in Chapter 34 and places them firmly within the cosmetic preparations of Chapter 33.

Codes often confused with 3307.30
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification for bath bombs is HS code 3401.11, which covers soap and organic surface-active products in the form of bars or molded shapes. While bath bombs are often molded into spheres, they do not meet the chemical definition of soap under the HS Explanatory Notes unless they consist primarily of alkali salts of fatty acids. Another error is using 3304.99 for general skin-care preparations; however, because 3307.30 specifically mentions "bath preparations," it is the more specific and therefore correct code according to General Interpretative Rule 3(a).

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).
