Father's Day quietly arrived alongside midsummer. Let's present him with a refreshing summer experience! The customs has prepared a list of gifts and relevant customs classification knowledge for your reference.
I. Shaving Foam
Shaving foam is the ideal product for men’s grooming. Its primary components include surfactants, lubricants, moisturizers, and fragrances, which effectively emulsify the oils on facial hair, making the beard swell and soften when moistened. In addition, shaving foam provides excellent lubrication, reducing friction between the razor blade and skin. This minimizes the tightness felt post-shaving and ensures a smoother, more comfortable shaving process. These products fall under shaving preparations and are typically classified under tariff line 3307.1000.
II. Antiperspirant
During the sweltering summer, movement often results in a sticky, sweaty sensation, particularly affecting the underarm area. Therefore, during the summer, fathers particularly benefit from using an antiperspirant to effectively reduce perspiration, ensuring long-lasting odor control and a fresh, dry feel throughout the day. Antiperspirants primarily serve to decrease perspiration and manage body odor (deodorization). They mainly consist of active antiperspirant components, deodorizing agents (antibacterial elements), moisturizers, among others. Such products are categorized as personal deodorizing and antiperspirant agents and are typically classified under tariff line 3307.2000.
III. Facial Cleansers
In general, men have a thicker stratum corneum, secrete more oil, and are more prone to enlarged pores and facial shininess. Therefore, it is advisable for them to select cleansing products with superior oil control properties.
Common facial cleansing products available on the market are primarily categorized into two types: the first is standard cleansing cream, commonly referred to as "facial cleanser," which mainly contains organic surfactants, skin-care ingredients, moisturizers, and fragrances. These products are classified as surfactant-based skin cleansing items and are generally listed under tariff line 3401.3000. The second is the facial cleanser with a makeup remover function specifically designed for men. It can effectively remove residues from light makeup such as sunscreen and primer, cleanse shine and dirt, eliminate greasiness, and provide a refreshing, comfortable, and moisturizing skin-friendly experience. These products fall into the category of cosmetics and are generally classified under tariff line 3304.9900.
IV. Sunscreen Cream
While men generally place less emphasis on skin tone, sun protection is crucial not only for preventing tanning but also for avoiding sunburn. Without proper sun protection, prolonged outdoor activity may result in reddened and peeling skin. Selecting a suitable sunscreen cream allows fathers to enjoy sweating freely and comfortably under the summer sun. When purchasing sunscreen cream, focus on its sun protection labels and active ingredients. For instance, sunscreen labels indicate SPF and PA values: SPF measures the sun protection factor against UVB (medium-wave ultraviolet) rays, while PA indicates the level of protection against UVA (long-wave ultraviolet) rays. These items are skincare products and are generally classified under tariff line 3304.9900. (Zeng Ning, Li Ting, and Fan Wenjie)
