How is this lemongrass oil transported and stored during shipment?
Lemongrass oil is shipped as a UN 1760 (Class 8, PG III) dangerous liquid, so transport follows IMDG/ADR/IATA rules: proper UN packaging, Class 8 marks, GHS labels and the required transport documentation. Many carriers additionally list it under their combustible-liquids storage class 10. Packing Group III means it is the least hazardous of the Class 8 category.
