Analysis

HTS 3306.90.00 covers preparations for oral or dental hygiene, including denture fixative pastes and powders; yarn used to clean between the teeth (dental floss), in individual… under heading 3306 (preparations for oral or dental hygiene, including denture fixative pastes and powders…).

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 63% of the 41 tariff lines in chapter 33, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

The other lines in the same group are 3306.10.00 (preparations for oral or dental hygiene, including denture…, duty-free) and 3306.20.00 (yarn used to clean between the teeth (dental floss), duty-free).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325620 (Toilet Preparation Manufacturing), an industry of 1,096 US establishments employing 48,968 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.

All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
