Import Tips
• Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm classification as a non-citrus mint essential oil, avoiding reclassification to citrus headings
• Provide GC-MS analysis reports for mint species identification, as 'other mints' excludes peppermint and major types
• Ensure packaging meets retail sale criteria if blended, per Chapter 33 notes on perfumery preparations
