Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit botanical identification and distillation method proof to confirm essential oil status vs. extracts

• Watch for cineole content declarations, as high levels might prompt scrutiny for pharmaceutical intent

• Label clearly as 'not for internal use' to prevent FDA mix-up with medicinal products
