3401.19.00.00 - Other

This HTS category, **3401.19.00.00 "Other,"** encompasses soap and organic surface-active products and preparations presented in solid forms (bars, cakes, molded pieces, or shapes), as well as treated paper, wadding, felt, and nonwovens impregnated with soap or detergent. Crucially, these items are not specifically intended for toilet use, nor are they the medicated products that would fall under sibling category 3401.11. The classification here hinges on the absence of a dedicated retail purpose for personal hygiene or therapeutic application, distinguishing it from more specialized entries.

This broad residual category serves as a catch-all for solid soaps and detergent-impregnated materials that do not fit into more precisely defined toilet or medicated product classifications. Examples might include industrial cleaning soaps in bar form, specialized scouring pads that are impregnated with detergent but not primarily for skin cleansing, or soap-infused wipes intended for surface cleaning rather than personal care. The key differentiator is the intended application; if the primary purpose is not personal hygiene or a medicated skin treatment, and it's a solid form or treated substrate, it will likely be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 3401.19.00.00. Therefore, the classification of any specific product under this heading relies entirely on its adherence to the general description and its exclusion from the more specific sibling categories. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the intended use and presentation of their goods to ensure accurate classification within this residual "Other" category.
