Import Tips & Compliance
• Include organic certification (e.g
• USDA NOP or EU Organic) in documentation to support claims and avoid reclassification
• Label with full INCI name 'Pogostemon Cablin Oil' and batch-specific purity analysis to meet FDA cosmetic import rules
• Check for terpene content; high deterpenation could shift to 'terpeneless' provisions or by-products in 3301.29
