3304.30.00.00 - Manicure or pedicure preparations

This HTS category, 3304.30.00.00, specifically encompasses preparations designed for the care and beautification of the fingernails and toenails. This includes a wide array of products intended for manicures and pedicures, such as nail polish, nail polish removers, cuticle treatments, nail hardeners, and nail treatments aimed at improving nail appearance or health. The primary function of these goods is to enhance or maintain the aesthetic and condition of the nails.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling categories within 3304. While 3304.10.00.00 covers lip make-up preparations and 3304.20.00.00 covers eye make-up preparations, 3304.30.00.00 is exclusively dedicated to nail care and enhancement products. Goods classified here are not intended for application to the lips or eyes. The "Other" category within 3304 would encompass general skin care preparations, sunscreens, and tanning products, which are distinct from the specific nail-focused items classified under 3304.30.00.00.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within 3304.30.00.00 is determined by the explicit purpose of the preparation. If a product is marketed and formulated for the direct application to nails or cuticles for cosmetic or care purposes related to manicures or pedicures, it falls under this classification. This excludes medicaments for nail conditions, which would be classified elsewhere.
