Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified under a single 10-digit line (9616200000), powder puffs and cosmetic application pads are beauty accessories used across mass-market and professional makeup segments. China dominates US supply, with Cambodia and Thailand serving as secondary sources — a sourcing mix that exposes importers to Section 301 tariff considerations on Chinese-origin goods. Material composition (foam, velour, synthetic fiber) and intended use — whether sold with a cosmetic product or separately — can affect classification boundaries with related headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Powder puffs and cosmetic pads originating from China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the applicable list and rate with a licensed customs broker, as Section 301 coverage and exclusions change periodically.
The heading covers pads of any material specifically designed to apply cosmetics or toilet preparations. However, if a pad is composed primarily of textile and is not clearly dedicated to cosmetic application, it may be classifiable under a textile heading instead. The intended use and retail presentation are key classification factors.
