Last updated: July 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.
