Overview
This HTS category, 3401.30.50.00, encompasses a range of organic surface-active products and preparations specifically designed for washing the skin. These are presented in liquid or cream form and are packaged for direct sale to consumers. Crucially, these products may or may not contain soap as an ingredient. The focus here is on formulations intended for personal cleansing, distinguished by their retail-ready presentation.
This classification is differentiated from its sibling, 3401.30.10.00, by the absence of aromatic or modified aromatic surface-active agents. While both categories cover organic surface-active products for skin washing in liquid or cream form for retail sale, the presence of specific aromatic components directs classification to the former. Therefore, if the product lacks these particular aromatic surface-active agents, it will fall under this "Other" designation.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under 3401.30.50.00. Classification at this level is determined by the physical form (liquid or cream), intended use (skin washing), retail packaging, and the absence of aromatic or modified aromatic surface-active agents, in conjunction with its parent category's scope for soap and organic surface-active preparations. Examples might include general-purpose liquid hand soaps or cleansing creams that do not feature the specified aromatic compounds.
