Chapter 33Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations

The headings in this chapter of the AHECC, the Australian export classification published by the ABS. Each one opens on the codes it contains.

Chapter 33 covers essential oils, perfumes, beauty preparations and hair or oral care products. Classification follows the product's stated function and its retail packing, not its chemical composition.

Two boundaries catch people out. Toward Chapter 30: a preparation becomes a medicament only through genuine therapeutic or prophylactic use, never through a marketing claim. Toward Chapter 34: toilet soaps fall in 3401, while soap-free skin cleansers stay in 3304.
