Overview
This HTS classification, specifically 3301.29.51.41, pertains to essential oils derived from sassafras, which notably includes oils obtained from the plant species *Ocotea cymbarum*. These are natural aromatic substances obtained from plant material, typically through steam distillation or cold pressing, and are utilized for their characteristic fragrance and flavor properties in various industries.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, such as essential oils of anise, caraway, cassia, or citronella, is the specific botanical origin. While all fall under the broader umbrella of "Other" essential oils not originating from citrus fruit, the defining criterion here is the exclusive inclusion of sassafras and *Ocotea cymbarum* as the source material for the essential oil. This focus on specific plant species is critical for accurate tariff determination.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 3301.29.51.41 is final for essential oils of sassafras and *Ocotea cymbarum*. Importers and exporters should ensure that the documentation accurately reflects the botanical origin of the essential oil to comply with customs regulations.
