Last updated: April 2026 dataAerosol-delivered hair lacquers — commonly known as hairspray — are the primary commercial form under this heading, and Mexico and Canada together account for the leading share of US imports, reflecting integrated North American aerosol manufacturing supply chains. Classified under 3305300000, the heading covers all hair-setting and holding sprays regardless of delivery format. Products formulated as aerosols are also subject to US Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations governing pressurized containers, adding a transport-compliance dimension beyond standard FDA cosmetic requirements. Volatile organic compound (VOC) content may additionally trigger state-level environmental regulations, particularly in California.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Beyond FDA cosmetic compliance, aerosol hair lacquers are subject to DOT hazardous materials regulations for pressurized containers during transport. Additionally, many states — most notably California under CARB regulations — impose VOC content limits on aerosol hair sprays. Importers should confirm that products meet both federal transport requirements and any applicable state VOC standards before distribution.
Classification under 330530 is appropriate when the product's primary function is holding or setting the hair. If a product is marketed and formulated primarily as a conditioning treatment or hair care preparation that incidentally provides some hold, it may be more appropriately classified under 330590. The principal function and product presentation are the key factors; borderline cases should be reviewed with a licensed customs broker.
