HS code for incense
Incense usually ship under 3307.41. Here is the full US code, the duty, the customs description to use, and what would make it a different code.
Based on the example: “Incense sticks” (bamboo, resin).
Why this code
Incense sticks are scented products that burn to release fragrance, so they fall under the incense line. The bamboo is just the stick that holds the scented material.
