What HS 3301.25 covers
This HS code covers essential oils derived from various mint species, *excluding* peppermint (Mentha piperita), and includes both terpeneless and non-terpeneless varieties, along with their concretes and absolutes. This category encompasses oils like spearmint, cornmint, and other less common mints, each possessing distinct aromatic and flavor characteristics. These oils are widely traded for use in the food and beverage industry (e.g., chewing gum, confectionery), oral care products, cosmetics, and aromatherapy. Importers typically include flavor and fragrance houses, confectionery manufacturers, personal care product companies, and pharmaceutical firms. Exporters are primarily agricultural processors in mint-growing regions worldwide. Key trade considerations involve the specific mint species, its primary chemical constituents (e.g., carvone for spearmint, menthone for cornmint), purity, and compliance with relevant industry standards.

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).
