Import Tips
• Keep records of the solvent extraction process to demonstrate it is a resinoid, not an essential oil
• Declare the botanical source (Boswellia species) on customs documents to facilitate clearance
• Check if the product qualifies for duty-free entry under the UK or EU trade agreements if sourced from those regions
