HS Code for Mascara / Eye Make-Up: 3304.20.00

Classification Notes

Mascara (volumising, lengthening, waterproof, tubing, fibre mascara), eyeliner (pencil, liquid, gel, felt-tip), eye shadow (powder, cream, liquid, palette), kohl, eyebrow pencils, eyebrow gel, and brow pomade are all classified under 3304.20 as eye make-up preparations. Major brands: Maybelline Great Lash / Sky High, L'Oréal Telescopic, Too Faced Better Than Sex, Benefit Roller Lash, Dior Diorshow, MAC Eye Kohl, Urban Decay Naked palettes. Waterproof and tubing mascaras share the same heading — formulation variation doesn't affect classification. Magnetic lashes (false lashes with a magnetic liner) — the lashes are 6704 (wigs/false eyelashes), the magnetic liner is 3304.20. Fake eyelashes sold alone are 6704.20 (eyelashes of human hair) or 6704.19 (of synthetic fibres) — NOT 3304. Eye cream and eye serum (for skin care, not make-up) are 3304.99, not 3304.20. Eye primer and eye setting spray are 3304.99. EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 and US FDA requirements (21 CFR) apply regardless of HS code — a CPNP (EU Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) notification is mandatory before EU import. The 0% duty across all three markets makes mascara imports straightforward from tariff perspective but Section 301 may affect Chinese-origin cosmetics.
