Overview
This classification pertains to essential oils derived from the bergamot fruit. Bergamot oil is extracted from the peel of the *Citrus bergamia* fruit, known for its distinct citrusy, floral, and slightly spicy aroma. It is widely utilized in the fragrance industry for perfumes, colognes, and soaps, as well as in flavorings for food and beverages.
Distinguishing bergamot oil from its siblings, the classification for lime (3301.19.51.20) covers essential oils specifically extracted from lime fruits. The "Other" category at this level (3301.19.51.50) is reserved for essential oils of citrus fruits that are not bergamot or lime. Therefore, this specific code is exclusively for oils definitively identified as bergamot.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the definitive identification of the essential oil as originating from the bergamot fruit, based on its characteristic chemical composition and olfactory profile, distinguishing it from other citrus essential oils.
