Toilet waters (excl. aftershave lotions, deodorants and hair lotions)
Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

Explanatory notes to heading 3303 3 paragraphs
Machine translation from Russian. The original is the EEC explanatory note, and that is what a classification dispute is argued from; the translation is for understanding and has no legal force.
3303 Perfumes and toilet water
This heading covers perfumes in liquid form, in the form of creams or in solid form (including pencils) and toilet water intended to give flavor to the human body.
Perfumes and fragrances usually consist of essential oils, floral concretes, absolutes or mixtures of synthetic scented substances dissolved in highly concentrated alcohol. They are usually mixed with slightly flavored additives and with a retainer or odor stabilizer. Toilet water, for example, lavender water, cologne (not mixed with aqueous distillates and solutions of essential oils of heading 3301) have a lower content of essential oils, etc., usually in less concentrated alcohol than the perfumes described above. This heading does not cover: (a) toilet vinegar (heading 3304); (b) after-shave lotions and body deodorants (heading 3307).
