Last updated: July 2026 dataBar-form soaps and organic surface-active products shaped for industrial, laundry, or institutional cleaning — rather than personal hygiene — fall under a single US tariff line, 3401190000. The non-toilet-use designation is the critical classification boundary: bars marketed for handwashing or personal care are excluded and classified elsewhere under Chapter 34. Importers should document end-use intent carefully, as mislabeling a toilet soap as industrial can trigger reclassification and duty adjustments.
