3304.91.00.50 - Other

This HTS category, 3304.91.00.50, encompasses "Other" powders within the broader group of beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the care of the skin. It specifically pertains to powdered cosmetic products not explicitly classified elsewhere within the subheading 3304.91. This includes a wide array of loose powders, such as finishing powders, setting powders, baby powders (when not medicated), and translucent powders, all of which are designed for application to the skin to enhance appearance, absorb moisture, or provide a matte finish.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3304.91.00.10 (Rouges), is the primary intended function and aesthetic outcome. While rouges are specifically formulated to impart color to the cheeks, the "Other" powders in this classification are generally intended to be translucent or to subtly modify the skin's surface without significant color contribution. The key differentiator lies in the colorant content and the resultant visual effect: rouges are designed for noticeable color, whereas these "other" powders focus on texture, setting, or oil absorption.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. Therefore, classification relies on the precise definition of "powders, whether or not compressed" and their exclusion from specific sibling categories like rouges. Importers and exporters should consider the intended use, formulation, and visual characteristics of the powdered cosmetic product to ensure accurate classification within this residual "other" powder category.
