Last updated: June 2026 dataSouth Korea's prominence as the top supplier under this broad residual heading reflects the global reach of K-beauty skincare innovation, with Canada and France also major sources. The heading's two 10-digit lines separate petroleum jelly put up for retail sale (3304991000) from all other beauty and skin care preparations not elsewhere specified (3304995000), the latter encompassing moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, and suntan products. Sunscreen products warrant particular attention: FDA regulates sunscreens as over-the-counter drugs rather than cosmetics, meaning products with SPF claims require OTC drug compliance — including an approved active ingredient, drug facts labeling, and potentially a new drug application — rather than simple cosmetic entry procedures.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
FDA classifies sunscreens as over-the-counter drugs because they make a therapeutic claim — protecting against UV radiation. This means imported sunscreens must comply with FDA's OTC drug monograph for sunscreens, use only approved active ingredients at permitted concentrations, and bear drug facts labeling. They are subject to FDA drug import procedures rather than standard cosmetic entry, and non-compliant products can be refused admission.
The key factor is retail packaging and presentation. Petroleum jelly put up in containers for retail sale as a cosmetic or skin care product falls under 3304991000. Bulk petroleum jelly not prepared for retail sale is classified in Chapter 27 as a mineral product. Importers should confirm packaging, labeling, and intended end-use to determine the correct classification.
