GENERAL

The essential oils and extracted oleoresins of heading 33.01 are all extracted from plant materials. The method of extraction used determines the type of product obtained. For example according to whether the steam distillation or an organic solvent process is employed certain plants (e.g. cinnamon) can give either an essential oil or an extracted oleoresin.

Headings 33.03 to 33.07 include products whether or not mixed (other than aqueous distillates and aqueous solutions of essential oils) suitable for use as goods of these headings and put up in packings of a kind sold by retail for such use (see Note 3 to this Chapter).

The products of headings 33.03 to 33.07 remain in these headings whether or not they contain subsidiary pharmaceutical or disinfectant constituents or are held out as having subsidiary therapeutic or prophylactic value (see Note 1 (d) to CHAPTER30). However prepared room deodorisers remain classified in heading 33.07 even if they have disinfectant properties of more than a subsidiary nature.

(a) In packings of a kind sold to the consumer and put up with labels literature or other indications that they are for use as perfumery cosmetic or toilet preparations or as room deodorisers; or

(b) Put up in a form clearly specialised to such use (e.g. nail varnish put up in small bottles furnished with the brush required for applying the varnish).
