Analysis

HTS 3307.90.00 covers pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations, depilatories and other perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, not… under heading 3307 (pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations…).

The general duty rate is 5.4% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 33 (94th percentile of 41 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $540 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Within this group the rate runs from 2.4% to 6%. Compared with 3307.41.00 ("Agarbatti" and other odoriferous preparations which operate by…), which pays 2.4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.4%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 75%, 13.9 times the general rate.
