Sodium lauryl sulfate is most commonly declared under HS code 3402.11 — the heading for anionic organic surface-active agents, whether or not put up for retail sale.

Two practical notes for importers:

  • National tariff schedules extend the international 6-digit code with additional digits (for example 3402.11.00 or country-specific subheadings). Your customs broker should confirm the exact national line before the first shipment.
  • Related anionic surfactants such as SLES and AOS generally fall under the same 3402.11 heading, but always verify per product and destination.

We state the HS code on our commercial invoices and packing lists, and provide the safety data sheet (SDS) needed for customs and freight handling. Contact our export team with any documentation requirements for your market.
