3401.11 - For toilet use (including medicated products):

Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 3401.11, encompasses solid soaps, cakes, or molded shapes specifically intended for toilet use. This includes products designed for personal cleansing of the body, face, or hands, such as bar soaps. Importantly, this category also covers medicated soaps that retain their solid form and are intended for skin hygiene purposes.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 3401.19.00.00 ("Other"), by its explicit focus on soaps for personal toiletry. While 3401.19.00.00 would capture other solid soap-based products not primarily for personal skin washing (e.g., some industrial cleaning soaps in bar form), 3401.11 is exclusively for the consumer or personal care market.

Within 3401.11, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. The subcategory 3401.11.10.00 specifically designates Castile soap, a type of soap traditionally made from olive oil. The remaining products, not specifically Castile soap, fall under 3401.11.50.00 ("Other"), providing a clear distinction for this widely recognized soap variety.
