Import Tips
• Provide documentation proving synthetic origin or natural isolation as an ester to distinguish from essential oils in Chapter 33
• Label with REACH compliance if destined for EU markets and include stabilizer details if added for transport per Chapter notes
• Avoid pitfalls by declaring exact isomer composition; mixtures of isomers may require classification under the last numerical heading
