Import Tips & Compliance

Include processing details in entry docs to verify terpeneless status remains under 3301, not a concentrate of 3301

Test for terpene content (<5%) to avoid disputes; high terpenes may classify as standard essential oil but same code

Avoid bulk packaging resembling retail perfumery prep, which could invoke 3302 per Chapter note on retail packings
