Last updated: April 2026 dataShaving creams, gels, foams, and after-shave lotions are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing between alcohol-containing and non-alcohol-containing pre-shave and shaving preparations (3307101000 and 3307102000 respectively), a split that affects both duty treatment and potential alcohol-related import documentation. The United Kingdom is the leading supplier, reflecting strong heritage brands in traditional wet-shaving products, with Canada and Spain also significant sources. FDA regulates these products as cosmetics unless a therapeutic claim (e.g., antiseptic) elevates them to OTC drug status.

The US tariff schedule subdivides pre-shave and shaving preparations by whether they contain alcohol (3307102000) versus those that do not (3307101000). This distinction can affect the applicable duty rate and may trigger TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) considerations if the product contains denatured alcohol, so importers should confirm the formulation and correct subheading with their customs broker.
After-shave preparations are specifically provided for under 3307100000 regardless of fragrance load. A product marketed and formulated as an after-shave remains here even if its perfume concentration is relatively high. Reclassification to Chapter 33 fragrance headings would only be appropriate if the product is not commercially presented or used as a shaving-related preparation.
