Classification checks for perfume and toilet water
HS 330300 covers perfumes and toilet waters. Alcohol content, retail presentation and transport restrictions can affect the import process even where the tariff classification is straightforward.
- Is the product applied to the body as a fragrance?
- Is it a finished retail product or an ingredient?

Worked import-cost example
This illustration uses £1,000.00 of goods, £75.00 shipping and £25.00 insurance. The illustration treats goods, shipping and insurance as the planning customs value.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Change the shipment values or origin
The estimator can compare the base line with any imported preference or trade-measure evidence.
You will need the product, the country you are importing into, where the goods are from, the goods value, and any shipping or insurance costs you want included.
Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.
How this was worked out
Duty basis: loading duty data.
VAT/GST basis: loading VAT/GST data
Extra duties are included only where the available data matches this product and route.
Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
