Slash Pine Oleoresin
Oleoresin exudate from living slash pine (Pinus elliottii) trees, tapped through bark wounding. This turpentine gum is rich in alpha- and beta-pinene, ideal for solvent and ink production. Fits HTS 1301.90.40.00 due to its direct collection as tree exudate.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If extracted from non-pine sources like balsam fir
Other vegetable saps and extracts fall under 1302, while turpentine gum specifies pine oleoresin in 1301.90.40.
If further processed into rosin or pine oil
Processing beyond raw exudate classifies it as resin derivatives under Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain tree species documentation for slash pine verification
• Check for contamination with bark or insects requiring fumigation
• Label as 'crude exudate' to distinguish from steam-distilled turpentine
