3301.29.51 - Other

This category, HTS Code 3301.29.51, encompasses "Other" essential oils that are not derived from citrus fruits and are not specifically listed under the eucalyptus or orris categories. This means it serves as a residual category for a wide array of essential oils that fall within the broader scope of Chapter 33, specifically those not concretes, absolutes, resinoids, or oleoresins, and not essential oils of citrus fruit. The oils classified here are typically volatile aromatic substances extracted from various plant parts, including flowers, leaves, stems, roots, and seeds.

Distinguished from its siblings, 3301.29.10.00 (Of eucalyptus) and 3301.29.20.00 (Of orris), this "Other" category does not include essential oils derived from eucalyptus trees or the rhizomes of iris plants. Its purpose is to capture the vast majority of remaining non-citrus essential oils used in perfumery, flavorings, and other industrial applications.

The numerous subcategories within 3301.29.51 reflect the diversity of essential oils covered. These subdivisions are based on the specific botanical source of the oil, such as anise, caraway, cassia, cedarwood, citronella, clove, garlic, geranium, jasmine, and lavender or lavandin, among many others. This detailed breakdown allows for precise classification based on the origin of the volatile oil, facilitating accurate trade documentation and duty assessment.
