Odoriferous substances and mixtures; used as raw materials in industries other than the food or drink industries

HS code 330290 covers a diverse range of odoriferous substances and mixtures that are used as raw materials in various industries, excluding the food and beverage sectors. These materials play a crucial role in the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial products, contributing to the global economy through their versatile applications.

The production of odoriferous substances and mixtures under HS code 330290 typically involves a combination of extraction, distillation, and blending techniques. Raw materials, such as essential oils, aromatic chemicals, and synthetic fragrances, are carefully processed to extract and concentrate the desired olfactory compounds. These refined ingredients are then meticulously blended and formulated to create the final odoriferous products.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 330290 items include a variety of natural and synthetic raw materials, such as 3301 Essential oils and resinoids, 2909 Ethers, alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, ketone peroxides, epoxides with a three-membered ring, acetals and hemiacetals, and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, and 2912 Aldehydes, whether or not with other oxygen function; cyclic polymers of aldehydes; paraformaldehyde. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as distillation columns, blending tanks, and packaging machinery, are essential for the manufacturing process.

The odoriferous substances and mixtures produced under HS code 330290 find applications in a wide range of industries, including 3307 Pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations, and other perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, not elsewhere specified or included, 3402 (Organic surface-active agents (other than soap); surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, whether or not containing soap, other than those of heading 3401), and 3402 (Organic surface-active agents (other than soap); surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, whether or not containing soap, other than those of heading 3401). These odoriferous materials are crucial inputs for the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial products.
