HTS heading 3302 is a broad product category for mixtures that contain odoriferous substances—such as essential oils, aroma chemicals, or other fragrance materials—and are used as industrial raw materials. It also covers certain preparations based on these substances when they are used to manufacture beverages. The products are generally not finished consumer perfumes or cosmetics; their intended industrial use is important.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s composition, physical form, and intended use. The subheadings divide the category into more specific groups, often based on whether the preparation is used in industry generally or in beverage manufacture, and on the materials or type of preparation involved. Read the complete heading, subheading, and product descriptions, along with the relevant legal notes and statistical suffixes. Classification can depend on technical facts, so a customs broker or classification specialist may be needed for difficult products.
What to check
- Obtain the full ingredient or formulation information, including the identity and proportion of odoriferous substances, solvents, carriers, and additives.
- Confirm the product’s actual commercial use: industrial fragrance or flavor manufacturing, beverage manufacture, or another use. Do not rely only on marketing language.
- Check whether the item is a mixture, an alcoholic solution, or another preparation, and document its physical form and packaging.
- Compare the product with every applicable 8-digit description and review the HTSUS section, chapter, and subheading notes before choosing a code.
- Keep technical data sheets, safety data sheets, specifications, and supplier statements supporting the composition and intended use; ask a customs broker or seek a formal ruling when the distinctions are unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
