Last updated: July 2026 dataCornmint (3301250010) and spearmint (3301250020) oils are the commercially dominant products within this heading, with two residual NESOI lines covering other mint varieties. India leads US imports, primarily through its large cornmint oil industry, which produces the natural menthol precursor widely used in confectionery, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco. China is also a significant supplier, particularly for cornmint oil, introducing Section 301 tariff exposure that importers must factor into landed-cost calculations. Spearmint oil, sourced in part from Canada, serves distinct flavor applications in chewing gum and oral care where carvone — not menthol — is the key active compound.

Essential oils of mints classified under heading 3301.25 have been subject to Section 301 tariffs on goods of Chinese origin. The applicable rate and any exclusions can change; importers sourcing cornmint or spearmint oil from China should verify current Section 301 status with a licensed customs broker before finalizing purchase contracts.
Cornmint oil (from Mentha arvensis) is classified under 3301250010, while true peppermint oil (from Mentha piperita) falls under 3301240000 in a separate heading. Cornmint oil typically has a higher menthol content and is often dementholized to produce natural menthol crystals; the dementholized residue may itself require separate classification. Botanical source documentation from the supplier is essential to support the correct tariff line.
