Import Tips
• Verify extraction method (cold-pressed vs steam-distilled) matches documentation to confirm classification as essential oil
• Provide Certificate of Analysis showing purity and origin from Citrus sinensis peels to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'orange oil' from fruit pulp, which may shift to food additive codes
