Product classification
HS code for Deodorant: 3307.20
Perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, personal deodorants and antiperspirants.
Classification of deodorant under HS 3307.20
Personal deodorants and antiperspirants are classified under HS code 3307.20. This classification is governed by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), specifically GRI 1, which dictates that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chapter 33 encompasses essential oils and resinoids, as well as perfumery, cosmetic, or toilet preparations. Heading 33.07 specifically includes "Personal deodorants and antiperspirants." These products are designed to be applied to the body to prevent or mask perspiration odors. The classification applies regardless of the delivery mechanism—whether the product is presented as a liquid, cream, stick, or aerosol spray. It is important to note that these products are distinct from perfumes, which are classified under 33.03, as their primary function is the management of body odor rather than merely providing a fragrance. The inclusion of antiperspirant properties, which chemically reduce sweat production, does not move the product out of this heading, as 3307.20 explicitly covers both deodorants and antiperspirants. Furthermore, the product must be put up for retail sale to be typically classified here; bulk shipments of the active chemical ingredients would fall under different chapters depending on their chemical composition.

Codes often confused with 3307.20
Common mistake. Deodorants are frequently confused with perfumes and toilet waters under HS code 3303.00. While both provide fragrance, 3303.00 is for products whose primary purpose is scenting the body, whereas 3307.20 is for products that specifically target perspiration or body odor. Additionally, if a deodorant is presented in the form of a soap, it may be misclassified under 3401.11, which covers soap and organic surface-active products in the form of bars or cakes.

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).
