3304.99.10.00 - Petroleum jelly put up for retail sale

This HTS classification, 3304.99.10.00, specifically covers petroleum jelly that is packaged and presented for direct retail sale. This category falls under "Other" preparations for the care of the skin, excluding medicaments, and is distinct from other "Other" categories within the broader scope of beauty, make-up, and skin-care preparations. The key differentiator for this specific code is the product's identity as petroleum jelly and its intended form for consumer purchase.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3304.99.50.00, is crucial. While both fall under "Other" skin-care preparations, 3304.99.10.00 is exclusively for petroleum jelly in retail packaging. The sibling category, 3304.99.50.00, would encompass a broader range of other miscellaneous skin-care preparations not specifically enumerated or classified elsewhere within Chapter 33. Therefore, if the product is petroleum jelly prepared for sale to end-users, it aligns with 3304.99.10.00.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 3304.99.10.00 is therefore determined by whether the product is petroleum jelly and is presented for retail sale. This includes products commonly known as Vaseline, Aquaphor (when not marketed as a medicament), and similar pure or refined petroleum jelly formulations intended for general skin moisturizing or protection, packaged in sizes suitable for individual consumer use.
