What HS code 33 essential oils and resinoids cover
This chapter groups scents and the goods made from them. It starts with raw plant extracts such as concretes and absolutes. It ends with finished goods for the bath, the hair, the teeth and the skin.
You may also see it called HSN code 33. The first two digits name the chapter. The next two name the heading. The last two narrow down the product. Customs offices read the same wording, so a code means the same thing across borders.
Essential oils vs finished preparations: how to classify
Ask one question first. Is the item a raw extract, a mixture sold to industry, or a product ready for the shop shelf? The answer points to the right heading.
- Raw extracts go in heading 3301. If the item is the oil itself, start here.
- Scent mixtures made for factories go in heading 3302. Use 330210 when the food or drink industry buys them. Use 330290 for every other industry.
- Finished goods for people go in headings 3303 to 3307. Think of perfume, make-up, skin care, shampoo, toothpaste, shaving gear and deodorants.
- Sunscreen counts here, but medicaments do not.
