Bath salts are classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 330730. This subheading is explicitly defined as "Perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations; perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations."

This code distinguishes them from basic, unprocessed salts by virtue of their formulation as a cosmetic or toilet preparation intended for personal hygiene and relaxation.

Codes often confused with 3307.30
Common mistake. Common misclassifications for bath salts often involve HS 250100, which covers "Salt (including table salt and denatured salt) and pure sodium chloride, whether or not in aqueous solution or containing added anti-caking or free-flowing agents; sea water." This code is for unprocessed or minimally processed salt, not for perfumed or cosmetically prepared bath products. Another potential misclassification could be with broader cosmetic categories like HS 330499 for "Other beauty or make-up preparations," but 330730 is more specific and accurate for bath preparations. The presence of perfumes, essential oils, or other cosmetic ingredients is the key differentiator.

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).
