Import Tips
• Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm bergamot from Citrus bergamia and avoid reclassification as mixtures
• Provide GC-MS analysis reports proving it's not diluted or mixed with other substances exceeding essential oil definitions
• Label packagings clearly as 'essential oil' to distinguish from retail perfumes under Chapter 33 headings
