Product Overview
Air fresheners classified under HS Code 330749 are chemical preparations formulated to impart a pleasant fragrance in indoor environments. These products typically consist of volatile aromatic compounds delivered via aerosols, gels, liquids, or solids, with physical specifications varying by form—ranging from spray volumes of 50-300 ml to gel mass in 100-500 g containers. Processing involves advanced formulation technologies ensuring controlled release of fragrance and stability under diverse storage conditions. Within HS Code 330749, subcategories include aerosol sprays, gel-based fresheners, electric diffusers, and scented candles designed specifically for odor neutralization and ambient scent enhancement. Commercially, these air fresheners are extensively utilized across food service establishments, retail outlets, hospitality sectors, and processing industries to maintain hygienic atmospheres and enhance customer experience. Their market positioning is anchored on standardized quality attributes such as consistent scent longevity, low toxicity, compliance with volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations, and compatibility with various dispensing mechanisms, providing reliable odor management solutions in compliance with international safety standards.
HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications
The complete HS Code for air fresheners is 3307.49, structured as follows: Chapter 33 covers “Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations,” Heading 3307 specifies “Pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations, depilatories and other perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations,” and Subheading 3307.49 pertains explicitly to “Other perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations not elsewhere specified or included,” under which air fresheners are classified due to their aromatic chemical composition and intended use. This classification is justified by the product’s formulation as a perfumery preparation designed for environmental scenting rather than personal care. Trade considerations include packaging in hermetically sealed containers to prevent leakage and evaporation, adherence to International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) regulations for aerosols, and climate-controlled transport to preserve fragrance integrity. Quality standards mandate compliance with ISO 9235 for fragrance materials and conformity to WTO sanitary and phytosanitary measures where applicable. Documentation supporting these criteria facilitates customs clearance, ensuring alignment with global trade compliance protocols and precise tariff application.
