Import Tips
• Provide GC-MS analysis confirming >70% citral content typical for lemongrass to validate classification
• Separate terpenic by-products in shipments; they remain under 3301 but require specific declaration
• Avoid mixing with fixed oils, which shifts to concentrates under later subheadings
