Last updated: July 2026 dataCastile soap — a traditional olive-oil-based bar soap with its own dedicated 10-digit line (3401111000) — sits alongside conventional synthetic-detergent bars and other toilet-use surface-active products in bar or shaped form under this heading. Mexico is the leading supplier, with Colombia and China also significant sources. FDA regulates these products as cosmetics unless they carry drug claims (e.g., antibacterial soaps with drug-active ingredients), and the agency's 2016 ruling banning certain antibacterial actives from consumer wash products remains relevant for admissibility review of antibacterial bar soaps.

Castile soap (3401111000) is specifically provided for as a distinct 10-digit line within this heading, reflecting its traditional formulation from vegetable oils — historically olive oil — without animal fats or synthetic surfactants. All other toilet-use bar soaps and organic surface-active products in bar form fall under 3401115000. Importers should verify the formulation and commercial designation of their product to determine the correct line.
FDA's 2016 final rule banned the use of certain active ingredients — including triclosan and triclocarban — in consumer antiseptic wash products, including bar soaps. Imported bar soaps containing these banned actives would be refused entry as adulterated or misbranded. Importers should confirm that any antibacterial claims are supported by permitted active ingredients and that the product complies with current OTC drug monograph requirements if drug claims are made. Consulting a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist is advisable.
