Incense sticks (agarbatti), incense cones, incense coils, and dhoop are classified under 3307.41 as odoriferous preparations that operate by burning. This heading specifically covers 'agarbatti and other odoriferous preparations which operate by burning' — it is one of the few headings in Chapter 33 that directly names a product. Palo santo and sage smudge sticks that are simply dried botanical material (not a prepared mixture) may be classified under Chapter 12 (plants) rather than 3307.41. An incense burner or holder is 9505.90 (ceramic), 7323 (iron/steel), or 7418 (copper).
