Chapter 34: Soap and Washing Preparations

HTS Chapter 34 encompasses a variety of soap and washing preparations, primarily focusing on products that serve cleaning and hygiene purposes. This chapter includes categories such as traditional soaps, organic surface-active agents, and synthetic detergents. Common example products falling under this classification are bar soap, liquid hand soap, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, and body wash. Industries that frequently import these goods include personal care, household cleaning, hospitality, and healthcare sectors, where cleanliness and sanitation are paramount. Importers should be aware of regulatory considerations, such as compliance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) for certain cleaning agents, as well as safety labeling requirements mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may regulate products containing certain organic surfactants. Navigating these regulations is crucial for business owners to ensure compliance and avoid penalties, making it essential to stay informed about the latest customs regulations and tariff classifications for effective international trade.
