Overview
This classification covers essential oils derived from lime, specifically citrus aurantifolia and citrus latifolia. These oils are obtained through various methods such as expression or distillation, capturing the characteristic aroma and flavor compounds of the fruit. They are utilized in a wide range of applications, including flavorings for food and beverages, fragrances for perfumes and cosmetics, and as ingredients in aromatherapy products.
The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the specific citrus fruit from which the essential oil is derived. While 3301.19.51.10 specifically designates Bergamot essential oil, and 3301.19.51.50 encompasses "Other" essential oils of citrus fruit that are not Bergamot or Lime, this classification is exclusively for lime essential oils. This precise delineation ensures accurate tariff application based on the botanical origin of the essential oil.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes is on confirming that the essential oil originates from a lime fruit and fits within the broader scope of citrus fruit essential oils.
