What is the HS code for this geranium oil and which documents are needed?
Geranium oil falls under HS 3301 (essential oils) — typically 3301 29 00 or the more specific national lines for geranium oil depending on your import country's tariff schedule. The exact line and duty rate are set by your local customs; the documents below are the universal set.
HS Code and Customs File
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| HS heading | 3301 — Essential oils (terpeneless or not) |
| Typical national lines | 3301 29 00 (other) or geranium-specific national codes |
| Duty note | Tariff and any FTA preference depend on your country and origin certificate |
| Key customs documents | Invoice, packing list, B/L, CoA, SDS, origin certificate |
| DG aspect | UN 3082 Class 9 — declare as dangerous goods in the manifest |
| Food import (some markets) | Add FEMA/GRAS reference or national flavouring authorisation |
- Verify the exact 8/10-digit code with your customs broker — lines change between countries and updates
- If your country has a free-trade agreement with China, the Certificate of Origin can reduce or zero the duty
- The product is not an extract (HS 3301 covers oils; terpene-free fractions also stay in 3301) — keep the CoA ready to justify the classification
- For shipments to the EU, the CN code maps to the TARIC line; the allergen declaration table is not a customs document but your label file needs it
