Import Tips
• Include processing details in documentation proving deterpenation without adding synthetics to maintain pure essential oil status
• Bulk import only; small retail bottles risk reclassification to heading 3302 as odoriferous mixtures
• Monitor terpene content (<5% typically for terpeneless); higher levels keep it as standard essential oil
