Perfumed Bath Salts & Other Bath Preparations

Bath bombs that are primarily effervescent salt-based compositions would generally fall under 3307301000 (bath salts, whether or not perfumed). Bath bombs with a predominantly non-salt base — such as those built around oils, butters, or surfactants — are more likely classified under 3307305000 as other bath preparations. The dominant ingredient composition and commercial presentation guide the determination; a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for novel formulations.

As cosmetics, bath preparations must comply with FDA's cosmetic labeling regulations and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, including an ingredient declaration in descending order of predominance using INCI nomenclature, net quantity of contents, and distributor information. Products making drug-type claims (e.g., 'relieves sore muscles' or 'kills bacteria') may be regulated as OTC drugs, triggering additional compliance requirements. Consulting a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist before import is recommended.
