HS code for Scented preparations: 3307.90
Perfumes and deodorizers, perfuming or deodorizing preparations n.e.c. in heading no. 3307.
Classification of scented preparations under HS 3307.90
Scented preparations not elsewhere specified are classified under HS code 3307.90. This is a residual or \"basket\" subheading within heading 3307, which covers various personal toilet, perfumery, and cosmetic preparations. Chapter 33 encompasses products used for fragrance and personal care. Subheading 3307.90 is used for products that do not fit into the more specific categories of shaving preparations (3307.10), personal deodorants (3307.20), bath salts (3307.30), or room deodorizers (3307.41/49). These preparations often include specialized items like scented sachets for drawers, perfumed papers, or animal grooming products like pet colognes. The classification is determined by the General Interpretative Rules, specifically looking for the most specific description. When a scented product is intended for a cosmetic or perfumery use but lacks a dedicated heading, 3307.90 serves as the correct classification. It also includes contact lens solutions and other miscellaneous toilet preparations.

Codes often confused with 3307.90
Common mistake. Scented preparations are frequently misclassified under 3304.99, which covers other beauty or make-up preparations. The distinction lies in whether the product is for application to the skin for beauty purposes or is a general perfumery/toilet preparation. They may also be confused with 3307.49 if they are perceived as room deodorizers; however, if the scent is localized (like a drawer sachet), 3307.90 is more appropriate. If the preparation is a simple mixture of essential oils, it might be incorrectly placed in 3301.29. Additionally, if the product has medicinal properties, it must be moved to Chapter 30 (Medicaments), specifically 3004.

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).
