3301.13.00.00 - Of lemon

This HTS category, 3301.13.00.00, specifically covers essential oils derived from lemons. These are aromatic oils extracted from the peels, rinds, or other parts of the lemon fruit, often used in the flavor, fragrance, and cosmetic industries. The classification extends to various forms of lemon essential oil, including terpeneless or deterpenated versions, as well as resinoids and oleoresins obtained from lemons.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by its exclusive focus on lemon. For instance, 3301.12.00.00 pertains solely to essential oils of orange. The broader category of "Other" essential oils of citrus fruit (3301.19) would encompass oils from citrus fruits not specifically enumerated, such as grapefruit, lime, or mandarin.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the origin of the essential oil. Therefore, any product meeting the general description of citrus essential oil, but not specifically derived from oranges, would fall under the "Other" category, while this code is reserved for the distinct aromatic profile and chemical composition characteristic of lemon.
