Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm geranium source and terpeneless processing, avoiding reclassification as a mixture
• Include GC-MS lab analysis reports showing chemical composition matching geranium profile to prevent disputes at customs
• Declare exact concentration and deterpenation status; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to anti-dumping scrutiny
