Overview
HTS code 3301.25.00.50, described as "Other" within the category of essential oils of other mints, encompasses a range of mint-derived essential oils that do not fall under the specific classifications for cornmint (including Mentha arvensis derived peppermint) or spearmint. This category serves as a residual classification for essential oils obtained from various other species of mint plants.
This "Other" classification is distinct from its siblings, 3301.25.00.10 (Of cornmint, including "peppermint" derived from Mentha arvensis) and 3301.25.00.20 (Of spearmint). Items classified here are derived from mint species other than *Mentha arvensis* (for cornmint/peppermint) and *Mentha spicata* (for spearmint). Therefore, classification hinges on the accurate botanical identification of the mint species from which the essential oil is extracted.
Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 3301.25.00.50 is determined by excluding essential oils of cornmint and spearmint, and confirming that the product is indeed an essential oil, concentrate, or related product derived from a mint species not otherwise specified. Examples of mints whose essential oils might fall here include, but are not limited to, peppermint (*Mentha piperita*) when not derived from *Mentha arvensis*, pennyroyal, and field mint, provided they do not meet the specific criteria for the sibling classifications.
