Both fall under subheading 380510, so the distinction does not change the six-digit classification. However, the production method — kraft (sulfate) pulping versus tapping living trees for gum — can affect origin documentation and quality specifications relevant to buyers in the fragrance and solvent industries.

Pine oil in which alpha-terpineol is the predominant constituent is specifically included in heading 3805. Pine oils that do not meet that composition criterion may instead fall under heading 3301 (essential oils) or elsewhere depending on their actual composition, so laboratory analysis of the terpineol content is often necessary for correct classification.
