Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If put up in retail packaging with added stabilizers for direct fragrance use
Mixtures containing geraniol as principal fragrance compound for retail sale fall under Chapter 33, not pure organic compounds of Chapter 29.
If blended with solvents or carriers exceeding Chapter 29 note (e) transport limits
Chemical preparations with geraniol where solvent renders it suitable for specific use, not qualifying as Chapter 29 solution.
If chemically modified with impurities creating different unsaturation pattern
Other unsaturated acyclic monohydric alcohols not specifically geraniol structure classified separately within same heading group.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming ≥98% geraniol purity and acyclic terpene structure to avoid reclassification
• Include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) detailing hazards (flammable liquid) and ensure proper UN-approved packaging for transport
• Verify TSCA registration for US import; common pitfall is failing to declare exact isomer content leading to delays
