HS Code 961620

HS code 961620 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Scent sprays and similar toilet sprays, and mounts and heads therefor; powderpuffs and pads for the application of cosmetics or toilet preparations : Powderpuffs and pads for the application of cosmetics or toilet preparations". The first two digits (96) are the chapter — Miscellaneous manufactured articles — and digits 3-4 (9616) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 961620 include powder puff, powder pad, makeup puff, cosmetic puff, velour puff, sponge puff and similar items matching powderpuffs and pads for the application of…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (961620) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
