• Include GC-MS lab reports confirming orange peel origin and terpene profile for customs verification
• Label clearly as 'essential oil' not 'aromatic compound' to prevent shifts to chemical headings
• Check for pesticide residues common in citrus peels; non-compliant shipments often face detention
