Chapter 33: Essential oils and resinoids
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 3301 when importing essential oils, such as orange or lemon oil, whether terpeneless or not. These oils can be used in perfumes, cosmetics, or food flavoring. If you have a shipment of essential oils extracted through enfleurage or maceration, this heading applies.
Deciding between HS-6 lines is crucial. For instance, if your product is orange essential oil, you would classify it under HS-6 330112. However, if it’s lemon oil, you should use HS-6 330113. If your essential oil is from a citrus fruit not specifically listed, turn to HS-6 330119.
If you’re dealing with peppermint oil, choose HS-6 330124. For other mint oils, like spearmint, use HS-6 330125. The distinction between these lines is based on the specific type of mint, so ensure you know your product's origin.
For resinoids, the appropriate code is HS-6 330130. If your product includes essential oils in fixed oils or waxes, or if it’s a terpenic by-product, you would classify it under HS-6 330190. This line also covers aqueous distillates and extracted oleoresins.
