Perfume - body spray & parfum Hs Code

Perfume - body spray & parfum harmonized system code

Product Overview Perfume, Body Spray, and Parfum categorized under HS Code 330300 refer to aromatic preparations formulated primarily for personal fragrance purposes. These products encompass a range of liquid and spray formulations characterized by their volatile aromatic compounds dissolved in alcohol or other solvents. The physical specifications typically include alcohol content ranging from 60% to 90% by volume, with fragrance concentration varying by product type—parfums possessing the highest concentration (20-30%) and body sprays the lowest (1-5%). Processing involves precise blending, aging, and filtration to ensure stability and consistent olfactory profiles. Under HS Code 330300, the subcategories include Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, and deodorizing body sprays, each distinguished by concentration and intended use. Commercially, these products serve the personal care market, retail distribution channels, and hospitality sectors, providing consumer appeal through scent enhancement and odor masking. Their market positioning is underpinned by standardized quality control, regulatory compliance, and adaptation to diverse climatic and cultural preferences, offering a competitive advantage in global fragrance trade. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HS Code 330300 falls within Chapter 33 (“Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations”), with Heading 3303 specifically assigned to “Perfumes and toilet waters.” The full 6-digit code 330300 identifies products formulated primarily for fragrance purposes without other cosmetic or toiletry properties. This classification is justified by the product’s chemical composition and intended use as a scent enhancer rather than therapeutic or cleansing agents. Trade considerations include packaging in amber or UV-protected glass bottles, typically ranging from 30ml to 100ml, to preserve volatile compounds and prevent photodegradation. Preservation methods emphasize airtight sealing and temperature-controlled storage (15–25°C) to maintain product integrity during transit. Shipping protocols comply with International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) regulations due to flammable alcohol content, necessitating proper labeling and documentation. Quality standards adhere to ISO 3175 and IFRA guidelines, ensuring fragrance safety and global regulatory compliance. Accurate classification supports customs clearance, tariff determination, and conformity with WTO agreements, facilitating streamlined international trade operations.
