Import Tips
• Include distillation process documentation to distinguish from solvent extracts, maintaining 3301 classification
• Check for pesticide residue compliance with FDA/EU standards, common pitfall for mint oils from major producers like India
• Declare exact menthol content on invoices, as high levels may trigger additional scrutiny for pharmaceutical use
