Heading 3301 covers essential oils, whether or not terpeneless, plus concretes, absolutes, resinoids, extracted oleoresins, concentrates, terpenic by-products, and aqueous distillates or solutions of essential oils. It is split first between citrus oils and other essential oils, then by the specific plant or fruit source, with separate lines for resinoids and extracted oleoresins.
