Overview
This HTS classification, 3302.90.20.10, specifically covers perfume oil mixtures and blends that are fully formulated and ready for direct use as finished perfume bases. These preparations are distinct in their readiness for application in the creation of final perfumery products, implying a sophisticated blend of odoriferous substances. The key characteristic is their function as a pre-made foundation for perfumes, rather than a raw ingredient requiring further significant processing or blending by the end manufacturer of the beverage or cosmetic.
Within the broader category of "Other preparations based on odoriferous substances, of a kind used for the manufacture of beverages," this subcategory distinguishes itself by its direct applicability to perfumery. Unlike other "Other" preparations that might be used in beverage flavorings or other industrial applications, these are exclusively intended for the creation of finished perfumes or colognes. The critical differentiator is their intended end-use and their formulation stage, being a ready-to-use perfume base.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. The classification terminates here, emphasizing that products falling under 3302.90.20.10 are complete perfume bases, ready for direct incorporation into finished perfumery products. When classifying goods, consider the specific formulation and intended application; if the mixture is a complex blend of aromatic compounds prepared solely to serve as the foundation for a perfume, it belongs here, provided it contains over 10 percent of alcohol by weight.
