HS Code 3304.10 covers Lip make-up preparations under the South African Harmonised Tariff Schedule. SARS uses this code to classify Lip make-up preparations for all import and export customs declarations.
The customs duty rate for HS Code 3304.10 is 20%. Duty is calculated on the FOB customs value (the goods value at the point of loading onto the carrier; international freight and insurance are not part of the duty base). Import VAT is then 15% of the Added Tax Value (ATV) — customs value + 10% uplift (for non-SACU origin; nil for BLNS countries) + non-rebated duty.
This tariff heading covers Lip make-up preparations. All importers and exporters must use this code on SARS customs declarations (SAD500), commercial invoices, and shipping documents.
