Detailed information for HTS Code 3301.29.51

Section VI covers essential oils, perfumery, and toilet preparations. Code 3301 specifically encompasses essential oils and resinoids, excluding natural oleoresins, vegetable extracts, soap, and certain turpentine products. Numerous subdivisions within 3301 detail specific types of essential oils, like anise, geranium, or sandalwood, and a final “other” category exists for oils not explicitly listed. When reporting, select the most specific oil type available to ensure accurate statistical reporting, utilizing the "other" suffix (3301.29.51.50) only when a precise match isn't found.
