Vegetable Saps & Extracts (NESOI)

CNSL is classified under 1302199120 because it is a naturally occurring phenolic liquid obtained directly from the cashew nut shell — an unprocessed or minimally processed vegetable exudate — rather than a chemically synthesized compound. Once CNSL is further processed into cardanol, cardol derivatives, or polymerized resins, those downstream products typically reclassify into Chapter 38 or Chapter 39. Importers should verify the degree of processing to confirm the correct chapter.

Crude ginseng (1302194120) derived from American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a CITES Appendix II species; imports require a CITES export permit from the country of origin and a US Fish & Wildlife Service import declaration. Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) is not CITES-listed but may still require phytosanitary documentation. Poppy straw extract (1302192100) is a DEA Schedule II controlled substance; importation requires advance DEA import authorization and must comply with INCB quota limits. These two compliance tracks are entirely separate and must be managed concurrently for any shipment containing both products.
