Tariff code 3306 designates a specific category of products related to oral and dental hygiene within the global Harmonized System (HS) for classifying goods.
Understanding HS Code 3306
The Harmonized System (HS) code 3306 is used by customs authorities worldwide to classify goods for customs duties, taxes, and trade statistics. Specifically, HS Code 3306 covers a range of products designed for maintaining oral and dental health.
Here's a detailed breakdown of what falls under this tariff code:
| HS Code | Item Description |
|---|---|
| 3306 | Preparations for oral or dental hygiene, including denture fixative pastes and powders; yarn used to clean between the teeth (dental floss), in individual retail packages |
This classification includes, but is not limited to, the following types of products:
- Toothpastes and tooth powders: Formulations for cleaning teeth.
- Mouthwashes and oral rinses: Liquids used to cleanse and freshen the mouth.
- Denture care products: This specifically includes denture fixative pastes and powders used to secure dentures, as well as other preparations for cleaning or maintaining dentures.
- Dental floss: Yarn used to clean between the teeth (dental floss), provided it is packaged for individual retail sale.
This code helps ensure consistent customs treatment for these specific oral hygiene products across different countries involved in international trade. It's crucial for importers and exporters to correctly classify their goods to comply with trade regulations and avoid delays or penalties.
