Last updated: July 2026 dataPerfume oil blends and other odoriferous mixtures used as industrial raw materials — rather than directly in food or drink — are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing between perfume oil blends destined for finished perfume bases (3302900010 / 3302901010 / 3302902010) and broader industrial mixtures (3302900050 / 3302901050 / 3302902050), further subdivided by alcohol content. Germany, France, and Switzerland — the core of the European fine fragrance supply chain — are among the top US suppliers, alongside Mexico and the United Kingdom. These products are primary inputs for personal care, household, and industrial fragrance manufacturing, and their classification turns on both end use (raw material versus consumer product) and alcohol content. Importers should ensure that perfume oil blends are clearly distinguished from finished fragrances, which would be classified elsewhere.

Customs will look for evidence that the product is an intermediate raw material sold to a manufacturer for further compounding, not a consumer-ready finished fragrance. Useful documentation includes a commercial invoice describing the product as a fragrance compound or perfume base, a specification sheet showing it is not in retail packaging, and a purchase order from a manufacturing customer. Finished perfumes in retail packaging are classified under heading 3303, so the distinction has real duty and admissibility consequences.
The US schedule splits 3302.90 into lines for mixtures containing no alcohol or up to 10% alcohol by weight, and those containing more than 10% alcohol by weight — with further separation between perfume oil blends and other mixtures at each threshold. Importers should obtain a certificate of analysis confirming the exact alcohol-by-weight percentage, as filing the wrong line can result in a duty discrepancy or a TTB permit issue for higher-alcohol formulations.
