Sourcing this category from India
HS 3305.20 covers Hair preparations; for permanent waving or straightening. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is a historic exporter of essential and attar oils — including the floral attars of Kannauj — and a growing cosmetics trade. India exported $69K under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #4 of 4 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
3305.20 is the six-digit HS subheading for hair preparations. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many chemicals & allied industries lines — check our import guides for your market.
In India this same number is called the HSN code (330520): GST registration, invoices and e-way bills all classify goods by HSN, and the applicable GST rate is notified against the 4–8 digit HSN — so Indian suppliers will quote you HSN 330520 for goods under this heading.
