Classification of burning air freshener under HS 3307.41
Burning air fresheners, such as incense sticks or agarbatti, are classified under HS code 3307.41. This classification is determined by the function of the product—deodorizing or perfuming a room—and the method of operation, which is through combustion. Heading 3307 covers various perfumery and cosmetic preparations, and subheading 3307.41 specifically identifies preparations that operate by burning. This includes products used for religious rites as well as general household fragrance. The classification remains consistent regardless of the shape (sticks, cones, or coils) as long as the primary mechanism for releasing the fragrance is the application of heat through fire. These products typically consist of an aromatic paste applied to a bamboo stick or formed into a shape. According to Chapter 33 Note 4, this heading includes products used to perfume or deodorize rooms, including odoriferous preparations used during religious rites. The essential character is provided by the aromatic compounds that are released into the air upon burning.

Codes often confused with 3307.41
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these products under HS code 3307.49, which is for room deodorizers that do not operate by burning, such as sprays or liquid diffusers. Another misclassification occurs under HS code 4421.99 for general wood products if the incense is primarily wood-based; however, the aromatic preparation dictates classification in Chapter 33. Some also confuse these with HS code 3307.20, which is strictly for personal deodorants and antiperspirants.

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).
