Import Tips
• Verify origin certificate to confirm patchouli source (Pogostemon cablin) and distillation method for Chapter 33 eligibility
• Provide GC-MS lab analysis if requested by customs to prove it's genuine patchouli oil, not a synthetic or blend
• Avoid declaring as 'perfume compound' to prevent shift to 3302.00; ensure packing exceeds retail thresholds if blended
