HTS heading 3304 is a broad product category for non-medicinal beauty and skin-care preparations. It includes make-up, skin-care products, sunscreen and suntan preparations, and manicure or pedicure preparations. The key limitation is that the product is generally a cosmetic or personal-care preparation—not a medicament classified for treating or preventing a disease.
To narrow a product to a specific 8-digit HTS code, start with the product’s principal use and then follow the subheadings under heading 3304. Those subheadings commonly distinguish product types, such as make-up, skin-care preparations, sunscreen or suntan products, and manicure or pedicure preparations; formulation, presentation, and other product details may also matter. The complete U.S. tariff schedule may extend beyond eight digits, so confirm whether an additional statistical suffix applies.
What to check
- Read the product label, ingredients, marketing claims, and instructions together; do not classify from the product name alone.
- Identify the product’s principal function: make-up, general skin care, sun protection or tanning, or manicure/pedicure use.
- Check whether medical or therapeutic claims could place the product outside the ordinary cosmetic scope of heading 3304; obtain broker or classification advice when the distinction is unclear.
- Review the current HTSUS heading, subheadings, legal notes, and explanatory guidance, then confirm the full tariff number required for entry.
- Keep supporting records such as the ingredient list, formulation details, packaging, photographs, and product literature in case classification must be verified.

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.
