Import Tips
• Provide botanical certificates specifying lavandin origin to distinguish from true lavender
• Label as 'essential oil' accurately; processed forms like absolutes may still qualify but require analysis
• Avoid common error of classifying diluted products; concentration determines if it shifts to 3302
