Hair serum may look simple, but customs and cosmetic compliance risks often arise when documents merely state “serum” without clarifying that the product is a preparation for use on the hair. Incorrect HS classification, missing cosmetic notification, inconsistent label data or invalid C/O may lead to document queries, loss of preferential duty, storage charges and delayed delivery. This guide provides an E2E (End-to-End) control map before ETA: HS code, taxes, C/O/FTA, specialized policy, customs documents, clearance decision points and risk checklist.

SCOPE OF APPLICATION

Applicable productThis article applies only to hair serum used as a finished cosmetic product for hair care.

Not automatically coveredIt does not automatically apply to shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, wax, hair dye, perm/straightening products or therapeutic anti-hair-loss products.

Variants to reviewOil serum, gel serum, essence serum, leave-in serum, ampoule, spray-serum, kits and accessories must be reviewed by dossier.

Dossier warningReview according to catalogue, datasheet, SKU/model, INCI formula, original label, marketing claims and actual import purpose.

This article does not merge all products in the shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, hair serum, styling cream, wax and cosmetic hair tonic group. Each product may differ in function, formulation, claims, packaging, transport conditions and notification dossier. Review against the actual catalogue, datasheet, SKU/model and import purpose.

PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION AND IDENTIFICATION

Hair serum is generally identified as a hair-care preparation used after washing or as a daily leave-in product. It may be oil-based, gel-based, essence-like or liquid serum. Typical functions include smoothing, shine, frizz control, heat protection or hair fiber conditioning. The claims must remain within the cosmetic scope and must not represent therapeutic or medicinal effects.

Catalogue reviewCatalogue should show that the product is for hair, in serum or leave-in form, with volume, brand and manufacturer.

Ingredient reviewINCI list must match the cosmetic notification and label. Restricted ingredients must be checked.

Label reviewOriginal and supplementary labels must show product name, function, ingredients, volume, responsible entity, origin, lot and expiry where applicable.

TECHNICAL IDENTIFICATION CRITERIA

Criteria to check	Documents to compare	Risk if wrongly described	Suggested declaration wording
Main function	Original label, catalogue, artwork, claim sheet	Therapeutic claims such as treating hair loss may push the product outside cosmetic scope.	Hair serum, cosmetic preparation for hair care, brand…, volume…, new 100%.
Product form	Catalogue, product photo, packing specification	Generic “serum” may be confused with skin-care serum under heading 3304.	Hair serum / leave-in hair care serum – preparation for use on the hair.
INCI composition	Formula, COA if any, PIF, ingredient label	Prohibited or restricted ingredients may affect notification and circulation.	Avoid medicinal claims unless legally supported.
Packing and volume	Packing list, invoice, label	Quantity or volume mismatch may trigger physical inspection.	50ml/bottle, 48 bottles/carton, brand…, origin…
Lot/expiry	Label, COA/COC, batch list	Inconsistent lot or expiry data may require explanation.	Show batch/lot if required for warehouse and compliance control.

HS CODE – DUTY – C/O

For finished hair serum, HS classification must be based on the actual nature of the product, not merely the commercial name “serum”. The key classification questions are whether the product is a preparation for use on the hair, whether it is excluded as shampoo, permanent waving/straightening preparation or hair lacquer, and whether its label claims remain within the cosmetic scope rather than therapeutic claims. For ordinary cosmetic hair serum dossiers, the reference HS code is 3305.90.00 – other preparations for use on the hair.

HS control note If the label or product dossier claims hair-loss treatment, hair-growth stimulation, scalp disease treatment, anti-inflammatory/antifungal effect, or otherwise suggests a non-cosmetic function, the importer should re-check both HS classification and specialized policy before customs declaration. Do not finalize HS code only from the term “hair serum”.

BASIS FOR HS CLASSIFICATION OF HAIR SERUM

Classification level	Reference code/group	Identification logic	Documents to check	Exclusion points
Chapter	Chapter 33	Essential oils, perfumery, cosmetics or toilet preparations.	Original label, INCI formula, cosmetic product notification, CFS/LOA if available.	Do not use if the dossier shows medicinal or therapeutic nature.
Heading	3305	Preparations for use on the hair.	Catalogue, use instructions, packaging images, intended use for hair/hair shaft/scalp within cosmetic scope.	Do not classify under 3304 if the product is actually for hair; re-check if medicinal claims appear.
Subheading	3305.90	Other, excluding shampoos, permanent waving/straightening preparations and hair lacquers.	Serum/oil-serum/essence/leave-in description, ingredients and hair-care functions.	Exclude 3305.10 shampoos, 3305.20 waving/straightening preparations, 3305.30 hair lacquers.
Vietnam 8-digit code	3305.90.00	Finished hair serum, other hair preparation.	Invoice, packing list, label, notification receipt, catalogue, product images, INCI list.	Re-check for device bundles, intensive ampoules, hair dye, anti-dandruff/antifungal or therapeutic claims.

RECOMMENDED HS CODE AND CLASSIFICATION RISK

Reference HS code	Tariff description	Conditions for hair serum	Risk if misclassified	Documents to cross-check
3305.90.00	Preparations for use on the hair – other.	Finished cosmetic hair serum for nourishing, softening, shine, frizz control or heat/environment protection; not shampoo, waving/straightening preparation or hair lacquer.	Misclassification under 3304 or medicinal headings may trigger incorrect duty, policy and label treatment.	Original label, cosmetic notification, INCI ingredients, catalogue, claims, invoice/packing list and actual photos.
Do not automatically use 3304	Beauty or skin-care preparations.	Only consider if the product is a skin serum, not a hair serum.	Confusing hair serum with skin serum changes customs classification and compliance treatment.	Use location, instructions, claims and notification form.
Do not automatically use 3305.10 / 3305.20 / 3305.30	Shampoo / waving-straightening / hair lacquer.	Only apply if the actual product matches those specific categories.	Confusing hair serum with conditioner, mask, tonic or styling product may affect duty and specialized policy.	Catalogue, texture, use method, packaging, ingredients and claims.

IMPORT DUTY AND VAT TABLE FOR HS 3305.90.00

Tax/duty item	Reference rate	When applicable	Basis to review	Operational risk
Ordinary import duty	30%	When the goods do not qualify for MFN or FTA preferential rates; origin and tax regime must be checked at declaration date.	Common practice: ordinary rate equals 150% of MFN if not otherwise specified; MFN 20% gives reference ordinary rate 30%.	Incorrectly applying MFN/FTA can lead to reassessment, arrears and late payment interest.
MFN import duty	20%	For goods originating from countries/territories granted MFN treatment by Vietnam.	Vietnam Trade Portal shows HS 33059000 with Customs Duty (MFN) 20%.	If MFN origin condition is not met, duty may be adjusted after clearance.
Import VAT	10%	Applicable to cosmetic/hair preparation imports unless a special VAT policy applies at declaration date.	Vietnam Trade Portal shows VAT for HS 33059000 at 10%.	Do not assume VAT reduction; check the VAT reduction exclusion list at the time of import.
Special consumption tax	Not applicable under current review	Ordinary finished hair serum is not generally subject to SCT.	Re-check only if the actual product nature is unusual.	Low risk, but do not ignore if the description is no longer ordinary cosmetic hair serum.
Environmental protection tax	Not applicable under current review	Ordinary finished hair serum is not generally subject to EPT.	Check if importing separate packaging or goods under special control.	Not a main risk for ordinary hair serum.
Anti-dumping duty / TRQ	No common application identified for HS 3305.90.00	Only if a specific trade remedy or quota decision is in force at import time.	Check trade remedy and TRQ notices when needed.	New measures could materially change duty cost.

FTA PREFERENTIAL DUTY – ROUTE-BY-ROUTE CONTROL TABLE

The following table is for operational control of preferential duty claims for HS 3305.90.00. Rates are reference rates based on current lookup data and must be re-checked against the applicable FTA tariff schedule at customs declaration date, origin country, proof of origin, direct consignment rule and product-specific origin rules.

Route/origin	FTA / C/O form	Reference preferential duty for HS 3305.90.00	Mandatory conditions	Documents to check	Risk if incorrect
ASEAN	ATIGA – Form D	0%	ASEAN origin, applicable origin criterion and direct consignment.	Form D, invoice, packing list, B/L/AWB, description, HS, origin, C/O date.	Wrong form, origin criterion or shipment route may invalidate preference.
China	ACFTA – Form E	0%	China origin under ACFTA rules; third-party invoicing must be properly shown if any.	Form E, invoice, through B/L, product description, HS, exporter/manufacturer.	Form E is often scrutinized for description, third-party invoice and transit route.
China	RCEP – proof of origin	10% reference	Use only if RCEP is operationally suitable or more appropriate than ACFTA.	RCEP proof, origin criterion, direct consignment, invoice, B/L.	If ACFTA is 0% but RCEP 10%, duty benefit is lost.
Korea	VKFTA – Form VK	0%	Korean origin under VKFTA and direct consignment.	Form VK, invoice, packing list, B/L/AWB, HS, origin criterion.	Choosing AKFTA/RCEP instead of VKFTA may increase duty.
Korea	AKFTA – Form AK	5% reference	Applicable if AKFTA is used; compare with VKFTA first.	Form AK, invoice, origin criterion, direct consignment.	If VKFTA 0% is available but AKFTA 5% is used, import cost increases.
Korea	RCEP – proof of origin	10% reference	Consider only where VKFTA/AKFTA documents are not suitable.	RCEP proof, origin criterion, invoice, B/L.	RCEP is not automatically the best duty option.
Japan	VJEPA – Form JV	0%	Japan origin under VJEPA.	Form JV, invoice, packing list, transport document, origin criterion.	Incorrect choice among VJEPA/AJCEP/CPTPP/RCEP may increase duty or invalidate C/O.
Japan	AJCEP – Form AJ	0%	Japan origin under AJCEP.	Form AJ, invoice, packing list, B/L, origin criterion.	Check issuing country, origin criterion and HS 3305.90.00 consistency.
Japan	CPTPP / RCEP	CPTPP: 0%; Japan RCEP: 10.9% reference	Use the agreement with the lower rate if dossier conditions are met.	CPTPP/RCEP proof, invoice, transport document, origin criterion.	Using RCEP when CPTPP/VJEPA/AJCEP is better increases duty cost.
EU	EVFTA – EUR.1 / origin statement if eligible	2.5% reference	EU origin under EVFTA with valid proof of origin.	EUR.1/origin statement, invoice, B/L/AWB, REX if applicable, origin criterion.	Invalid origin proof, description mismatch or direct transport issue may deny preference.
United Kingdom	UKVFTA – EUR.1 / origin proof	2.5% reference	UK origin under UKVFTA.	EUR.1/origin proof, invoice, transport document, origin criterion.	Do not confuse UKVFTA with EVFTA; origin and proof must match.
Australia/New Zealand	AANZFTA – Form AANZ	0%	Origin under AANZFTA and applicable origin rules.	Form AANZ, invoice, packing list, B/L, origin criterion.	Wrong form, description mismatch or lack of direct consignment can deny preference.
Australia/New Zealand	CPTPP / RCEP	CPTPP: 0%; RCEP AU/NZ: 10% reference	Compare tariff route before claiming preference.	CPTPP/RCEP proof, invoice, B/L, origin criterion.	Wrong FTA route may increase duty even with valid origin proof.
India	AIFTA – Form AI	5% reference	India origin under AIFTA.	Form AI, invoice, packing list, B/L, origin criterion.	Invalid origin criterion or description mismatch may deny preference.
Chile	VCFTA – Form VC	2% reference	Chile origin under VCFTA.	Form VC, invoice, B/L, origin criterion.	Check annual tariff schedule as rates may follow a tariff phase-out.
Hong Kong (China)	AHKFTA – Form AHK	20% reference	Hong Kong origin and applicable AHKFTA rules.	Form AHK, invoice, B/L, origin criterion.	If AHKFTA is not lower than MFN, there may be no duty advantage.

PRE-DECLARATION C/O CHECKLIST

Control point	What to verify	Risk if failed
Form/proof of origin	Correct agreement: Form D/E/AK/VK/AJ/JV/AANZ/AI/VC/AHK/EUR.1/CPTPP/RCEP.	Wrong form may invalidate preferential duty.
Origin criterion	Check WO, RVC, CTH, CTSH or product-specific rule under the selected FTA.	Origin cannot be substantiated; C/O may be denied or verified.
HS and product description	HS on C/O, invoice and declaration should align with 3305.90.00; description should identify hair serum/hair preparation.	Mismatch may trigger customs questioning.
Third-party invoice	If applicable, it must be declared in accordance with the FTA rules and match commercial documents.	Incorrect third-party invoice treatment may deny preference.
Direct consignment	Check B/L/AWB, transshipment ports and evidence that goods were not further processed outside the FTA territory.	Preference may be denied even when C/O is formally valid.
Issuance date and validity	C/O issue date, export date and customs declaration date must be within accepted timelines.	Retroactive/expired C/O may require explanation or verification.
Stamp/signature/authentication	Check stamp, signature, QR or electronic authentication if available.	Invalid authentication can lead to rejection or verification.

FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does imported hair serum require an import license?

Do not conclude solely by product name. For ordinary finished cosmetic hair serum, the focus is cosmetic notification, labeling and customs documents. Strong therapeutic claims, special ingredients or risky transport form require further review.

Which HS code should be used?

The reference HS code is 3305.90.00. Final classification must rely on product function, form, label, ingredients and use on hair.

What is the import duty?

Reference: MFN 20%, ordinary duty 30%, VAT 10%. Preferential duty may apply with valid C/O.

Can C/O reduce duty?

Yes, if the origin proof is valid, correct in form, description, HS code and origin criteria, and supported by transport documents.

Is Vietnamese supplementary labeling required?

Review under labeling regulations and cosmetic rules. The Vietnamese label must correspond with the original label and notification dossier.

Are samples handled the same as commercial goods?

Not automatically. Quantity, purpose, label, ingredients and circulation plan must be reviewed case by case.

What if SKU on invoice differs from label or catalogue?

Request amendment or prepare a written explanation before filing customs declaration.
