3301.19.10.00 - Of grapefruit

This HTS category, 3301.19.10.00, specifically covers essential oils derived from grapefruit. These are volatile aromatic compounds extracted from the peel, pulp, or other parts of the grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi). This classification encompasses both terpeneless and non-terpeneless essential oils, as well as concretes, absolutes, and resinoids obtained from grapefruit. The key characteristic for inclusion here is the origin of the essential oil – it must be exclusively derived from grapefruit.

This subheading distinguishes itself from other essential oils of citrus fruit by its specific focus on grapefruit. For instance, other subheadings within 3301.19 would cover essential oils of other citrus fruits not otherwise specified, such as lemon, orange, or lime. The defining criterion is the botanical source of the essential oil, ensuring precise classification based on the type of citrus fruit from which the aromatic compounds are extracted.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this level. Goods falling under 3301.19.10.00 are directly identifiable as grapefruit essential oils, often used in flavorings, fragrances, and aromatherapy applications, and do not require further subdivision. Classification hinges solely on the confirmed origin of the essential oil being grapefruit.
