Overview

This HTS classification covers liquid or cream preparations designed for washing the skin, which are presented in packaging suitable for direct retail sale. A key characteristic of goods classified under this heading is the presence of aromatic or modified aromatic surface-active agents. These agents are the primary functional components responsible for the cleansing properties of these products. Examples include liquid soaps, body washes, and hand creams with significant cleansing capabilities that are sold directly to consumers.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3401.30.50.00, is crucial. While both fall under the broader umbrella of retail-ready skin-washing preparations, this specific classification is for those *containing aromatic or modified aromatic surface-active agents*. The sibling category, "Other," encompasses skin-washing preparations that do not meet this specific chemical composition requirement, implying they may use different types of surface-active agents or have a composition that doesn't meet the aromatic criteria. Therefore, the presence and type of surface-active agent are the deciding factors for proper classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level are final, relying on the precise definition of "aromatic or modified aromatic surface-active agent" as per the relevant chemical and customs interpretations. Importers and exporters must carefully review the ingredient lists and product formulations to ensure accurate classification, particularly concerning the nature of the surface-active agents present.
