Last updated: August 2026 dataImported dentifrices — including toothpaste, tooth gel, and tooth powder — enter the US under FDA oversight as cosmetics or, when therapeutic claims are made (e.g., fluoride content, anti-cavity), as over-the-counter drug products subject to monograph requirements. The single 10-digit line 3306100000 captures all forms, meaning classification is straightforward but admissibility review can be complex depending on labeling and active-ingredient claims. Mexico leads US supply, followed by India and China, making Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin product a recurring cost consideration for importers sourcing across multiple origins.

Yes. Dentifrices originating in China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Importers should confirm the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
