HS Code 3305Hair preparations; for use on the hair
4 six-digit codes · Heading 5 of 7 in Chapter 33 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 3305 covers products that go on the hair, such as shampoo, hair spray, perm lotion and straighteners. This page explains each code and how to pick the right one.
Goods answering to “Hair preparations; for use on the hair” split into 4 six-digit codes, 330510 through 330590. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 5 of 7 in Chapter 33, Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, which runs to 29 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 3305 covers
These are products used on the hair, not on the skin or in the mouth. Think of shampoo, hair spray, perm lotion and hair straightening cream. Some traders search for it as HSN code 3305, and the digits are the same.
The heading sits in the part of the Harmonized System for cosmetics and perfumery. Its name is short: preparations for use on the hair. That makes it easy to read. But the split into six-digit codes is what decides where a product is filed, so that is the part to check closely.
Six-digit codes under heading 3305
Here is what each one means in plain terms.
- 330510 (shampoos): products made to wash the hair. This is the answer to the common question about the HS code for shampoo.
- 330520 (permanent waving or straightening): perm lotions and hair straightening products. Use it when the product changes the shape of the hair for a long time.
- 330530 (lacquers): hair lacquers, which most people call hair spray. They hold a style in place.
- 330590 (not elsewhere classified): other hair preparations in this heading that are not shampoos, perm or straightening products, or lacquers. It is the catch-all code.
How to classify hair products: 3305 vs nearby headings
Many beauty items look alike, so the right code depends on what the product is for. Ask where it is used and what it does. Then match it to the list below.
On the difference between HS code 3304 and 3305: heading 3304 is for beauty, make-up, skin care, sun care and nail care. Heading 3305 is only for the hair. A face cream and a shampoo may sit on the same shelf, but they are filed in different headings.
Inside 3305, check the three named codes first. If the product is a shampoo, a perm or straightening product, or a lacquer, use that code. If it is a hair preparation that none of them names, 330590 is the residual code. It covers what is left over.
- Washes, waves, straightens or holds the hair: heading 3305.
- Shaving, after-shave, bath products, deodorants or depilatories: heading 3307.
- Teeth and mouth care: heading 3306.
