Last updated: July 2026 dataArgentina is the leading US supplier of lemon essential oil, a position driven by that country's dominant role in global lemon cultivation and cold-pressing capacity, with Italy and Uruguay also notable sources. Classified under a single 10-digit line (3301130000), the oil is widely used in flavors, household cleaning products, and personal care formulations. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications differ in purity and residue tolerances, making certificate-of-analysis documentation a routine compliance requirement at entry. Importers should confirm whether the product is expressed or distilled, as blended or concentrated forms may warrant reclassification under heading 3301.90.

Argentina's Tucumán province is one of the world's largest lemon-growing regions, and the country has invested heavily in cold-pressing infrastructure co-located with juice processing facilities. This integration allows large volumes of expressed peel oil to be produced as a co-product of lemon juice, giving Argentine suppliers a significant cost and volume advantage over other origins.
Importers generally need a certificate of analysis confirming identity and purity, FDA prior notice filed before arrival, and evidence that the foreign manufacturing facility is FDA-registered. If the oil is intended for use in alcoholic beverages, TTB considerations may also apply. Classification admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent for current requirements.
