Import Tips
• Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm it's orris-derived, as mislabeling can lead to reclassification under general essential oils
• Provide GC-MS analysis reports proving it's not mixed with citrus oils, avoiding exclusion from this specific subheading
• Ensure packaging meets retail sale standards if for perfumery use, per Chapter 33 notes on odoriferous substances
