3301.19 - Other:

This HTS category, 3301.19, encompasses essential oils derived from citrus fruits, specifically those not classified under the more specific categories of orange (3301.12) or lemon (3301.13). This includes oils obtained from grapefruit, limes, mandarins, tangerines, clementines, and other citrus varieties. The process of extraction can involve methods such as cold pressing (expression) or steam distillation, yielding volatile aromatic compounds that capture the characteristic scent of the respective fruit.

The defining characteristic of this category is the specific citrus fruit from which the essential oil is derived. Unlike sibling categories that explicitly name "orange" and "lemon" essential oils, 3301.19 serves as a catch-all for other citrus types. For classification purposes, the origin and primary aromatic profile of the oil are key determinative factors.

Within the 3301.19 classification, further subdivisions exist to distinguish between specific citrus types and general "other" categories. For instance, essential oils of grapefruit are itemized separately (3301.19.10.00), while a broader "Other" category (3301.19.51) captures remaining citrus essential oils not otherwise specified. This hierarchical structure ensures granular classification based on the precise botanical source of the oil.
