Classification of perfume under HS 3307.90
HS code 3307.90 is a residual category for perfumery, cosmetic, or toilet preparations that are not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 33. While standard liquid perfumes for personal application are classified under 3303.00, heading 3307.90 captures a wide variety of scented products used for environmental fragrancing or specialized cosmetic applications. This classification is determined by the product's intended use and chemical composition. Under the General Rules of Interpretation, if a product provides a fragrance but does not meet the criteria for essential oils (3301) or personal perfumes (3303), it falls into the 3307 category. This includes products that release scent through combustion, evaporation, or mechanical dispersion, provided they are not primarily intended for the skin. The classification ensures that miscellaneous scented manufactured goods are captured within the cosmetic and perfumery chapter even if they do not fit the traditional definition of a bottled fragrance.

Codes often confused with 3307.90
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is with HS code 3303.00. Importers often use 3303.00 for any product labeled as "perfume," but 3303.00 is strictly for liquid perfumes and toilet waters intended for human topical use. Another common error is 3307.41, which is specifically for Agarbatti (incense sticks); if the product is a different form of incense or a room deodorizer that does not burn, it must stay in 3307.90. Additionally, essential oils in bulk are classified in 3301, not 3307.

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).
