Import Tips
• Verify extraction method (solvent vs. steam distillation) via Certificate of Analysis to confirm classification under 3301, avoiding misclassification as 3301.29
• Ensure documentation includes purity levels and terpene content, as terpeneless oils may shift to other subheadings
• Check for REACH compliance if importing to EU markets, as absolutes often contain residual solvents
