HS code for Resinoids: 3301.30
Resinoids.
Classification of resinoids under HS 3301.30
Resinoids are classified under HS code 3301.30. This classification is found within Chapter 33, which covers essential oils and resinoids, as well as perfumery, cosmetic, or toilet preparations. Resinoids are products obtained from natural aromatic raw materials (usually dried plant secretions or resins) by extraction with organic solvents. Unlike essential oils, which are typically produced by steam distillation or mechanical expression, resinoids contain both the volatile and non-volatile aromatic components of the plant material, resulting in a thicker, more viscous substance. The Harmonized System distinguishes resinoids from raw natural resins (Chapter 13) because resinoids have undergone a specific extraction process to concentrate their aromatic properties for use in the perfume, cosmetic, or flavoring industries. The classification under 3301.30 is specific to these solvent-extracted products and does not include aqueous distillates or mixtures of aromatic substances with added diluents, which might fall under other subheadings of 33.01 or 33.02.

Codes often confused with 3301.30
Common mistake. Resinoids are often confused with natural gums and resins classified under HS code 1301.90. The key difference is the processing: 1301 covers the raw, unrefined exudates, while 3301.30 covers the solvent-extracted aromatic concentrate. Another common misclassification is HS code 3301.29 (other essential oils). While related, essential oils are chemically different due to the distillation process. Additionally, if a resinoid is dissolved in a solvent like ethyl alcohol for retail sale as a fragrance, it may be classified under 3303.00 (perfumes and toilet waters) or 3302.90 (mixtures of odoriferous substances).
Top exporters and importers of HS 330130 (the code used for resinoids), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 330130 (the code used for resinoids) in UN Comtrade data was France, with 22% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was France, with 17% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).

How does a resinoid differ from an essential oil in HS classification?
Resinoids (3301.30) are produced via solvent extraction from solid resins or plant materials, whereas essential oils (3301.12-3301.29) are typically produced via steam distillation or expression. The HS system maintains separate subheadings for these different production methods.
