Last updated: April 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.

If the dentifrice contains an active ingredient with a therapeutic claim — such as fluoride for cavity prevention or potassium nitrate for sensitivity relief — FDA treats it as an OTC drug product subject to the applicable monograph. Importers must ensure labeling, ingredient levels, and manufacturing comply with OTC drug requirements; a product marketed purely for cleaning without therapeutic claims is regulated as a cosmetic.
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.
