Both cold-pressed (expressed) and steam-distilled orange oils fall under 3301120000, so the extraction method does not change the HTS classification. However, if the oil has been deterpenated or concentrated, it may shift to heading 3301.90 as a concentrate or terpenic by-product, so importers should confirm the exact specification with their supplier before filing entry.
Food-grade orange essential oil is subject to FDA prior notice requirements under the Bioterrorism Act and may be detained for examination. The oil must meet Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) standards for its intended food or beverage application, and the foreign facility must be registered with FDA. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist to confirm current admissibility requirements.
