U.S. imports of essential oils (other, non-citrus, non-mint) (HS 330129) totaled $34.2M in July 2026, traded with 88 countries.
Importers of Essential Oils (Other, Non-Citrus, Non-Mint) paid $3.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $30.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Essential Oils (Other, Non-Citrus, Non-Mint) imports of $34.2M in July 2026 ran 13% above the year-to-date monthly average of $30.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFrance and Indonesia are the leading US suppliers under this broad residual heading, which spans more than two dozen individually enumerated oils — from lavender (3301295118) and jasmine (3301295117) to patchouli (3301295129), vetiver (3301295142), and sandalwood (3301295139) — plus two catch-all NESOI lines. The heading's breadth means classification precision is critical: each named oil has its own 10-digit line, and misclassification between, for example, cassia oil (3301295107) and a generic spice oil can affect duty treatment and admissibility. Several oils in this heading — notably sassafras (3301295141) and certain tropical wood oils — may be subject to CITES controls or FDA scrutiny depending on botanical source and end use.

A mixture of two or more essential oils is generally not classifiable under heading 3301.29 as a pure essential oil; it would instead fall under heading 3302 as a mixture of odoriferous substances. Importers should ensure that each line item on the commercial invoice accurately reflects whether the product is a single-species oil or a blend, as the distinction determines the correct heading and can affect duty rates.
Certain botanical sources of sandalwood (particularly Santalum species) and sassafras-related species may be listed under CITES appendices, potentially requiring export permits from the country of origin and US Fish & Wildlife Service import documentation. Importers should verify the specific botanical species with their supplier and check current CITES listings before shipment. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker or USFWS import specialist.
