3301.12.00.00 - Of orange

This HTS category, 3301.12.00.00, specifically encompasses essential oils derived from the orange fruit. This includes all forms of orange essential oils, whether terpeneless or not, as well as concretes, absolutes, and resinoids originating from oranges. The scope extends to include concentrates of orange essential oils obtained through processes like enfleurage or maceration, as well as aqueous distillates and solutions of these oils.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its precise origin. While 3301.13.00.00 covers essential oils of lemon and the broader 3301.19 category encompasses other citrus fruits, 3301.12.00.00 is exclusively for oils and related products derived from oranges. This precise delimitation ensures accurate trade data and tariff application based on the specific citrus source.

As a leaf node, 3301.12.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies entirely on the accurate identification of the product as an essential oil or related derivative obtained from oranges, adhering to the general definitions and principles outlined under Chapter 33 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
