Import Tips & Compliance

Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm it's a genuine essential oil, not a diluted product which may shift to 3302

Provide GC-MS lab analysis if required to prove it's not of citrus fruit and meets 'other' criteria under 3301.29

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as fragrance compounds, ensuring retail packing doesn't trigger 3302 classification
