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
