Import Tips
• Verify botanical origin with Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming Cymbopogon citratus to avoid misclassification as other essential oils
• Ensure packaging does not resemble retail perfumery packs (e.g
• bulk >100ml) to stay under pure essential oil heading, not 3302
• Declare exact deterpenation status and purity percentage; impurities >20% may shift to extracted oleoresins
