Pure essential oils (lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint) are classified under 3301 with species-specific subheadings. Lavender oil is 3301.29.11; eucalyptus oil is 3301.12. The 'pure' classification is critical: a blend of essential oils in a carrier oil (e.g. 5% lavender in jojoba oil) is no longer 3301 — it is a mixture and classified under 3302.10 (odoriferous mixtures for industry) or 3304.99 (skin preparation) depending on intended use. Essential oils sold in retail aromatherapy sets may be 3302.10. The country of origin can be subject to CITES controls for some botanicals (sandalwood, rosewood, agarwood/oud).
