What HS 3301.19 covers

This HS code is a catch-all for essential oils derived from citrus fruits other than oranges (330112) and lemons (330113). It includes a diverse range of citrus oils, whether terpeneless or not, along with their concretes and absolutes. These oils are highly valued in international trade for their unique aromatic and flavor profiles, finding extensive use in the flavor and fragrance industry, cosmetics, food and beverage production, and aromatherapy. Importers typically include flavor and fragrance houses, cosmetic manufacturers, food and beverage companies, and specialized distributors. Exporters are primarily agricultural processors in various citrus-growing regions globally. Key trade considerations involve the specific citrus fruit origin (e.g., grapefruit, lime, bergamot), extraction method, purity, and adherence to relevant food safety and cosmetic regulations. The distinct characteristics of each oil drive specialized market demand.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
