HS Code for Scented diffuser

Scented diffusers are classified under HS code 3307.49. This code is found in Chapter 33, which covers essential oils and resinoids, perfumery, cosmetic, or toilet preparations. Heading 3307 specifically includes preparations for perfuming or deodorizing rooms, including odoriferous preparations used during religious rites. Subheading 3307.49 is a residual category for room perfuming preparations that do not operate by burning. This includes reed diffusers, where fragrance oil is drawn up through porous sticks, and electric diffusers that use heat or ultrasonic waves to disperse scent. The classification is based on the product's function as a room deodorizer and its physical state as a prepared fragrance liquid. It is important to note that the classification covers the entire set (the liquid and the delivery mechanism like reeds) when they are put up for retail sale together. The essential character of the product is the scented preparation itself.

Products Included

• Reed diffusers with fragrance oil
• Electric plug-in scented oil refills
• Room spray aerosols (non-disinfectant)
• Scented stones or ceramic diffusers
• Ultrasonic diffuser fragrance solutions

Common Misclassification

Scented diffusers are often misclassified under 3307.41, which is strictly for \"Agarbatti\" and other odoriferous preparations which operate by burning (like incense sticks). Another common error is 3303.00, which is reserved for perfumes and toilet waters intended for application to the human body. If the diffuser is purely an essential oil without added solvents or fragrances, it might be misclassified under 3301. If the product is primarily a disinfectant with only a secondary scent, it should be classified under 3808.94. Finally, the mechanical diffuser device itself, if imported without oil, may fall under 8509 (domestic appliances) or 8424 (mechanical appliances for projecting liquids).
