Chapter 34 classification notes

Chapter 34 covers consumer cleaning + personal-care products. Personal-quantity carriage clears as routine; bulk commercial imports may need conformity (RoHS, REACH, COSING for cosmetics).

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Bar soap (3401) vs. liquid soap (3401.30 from 2022 HS update) — pre-2022 some liquid soaps were misclassified as 3402.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
