About oils, essential; of lemon (terpeneless or not), including concretes and absolutes

HS code 330113 covers the essential oils of lemon, including both terpeneless and non-terpeneless varieties, as well as concretes and absolutes. This industry is a vital component of the global flavors and fragrances market, providing key raw materials for a wide range of consumer and industrial products. Lemon essential oils are highly valued for their distinctive aroma and versatile applications, making them an important commodity in international trade.

Production process

Lemon essential oils are typically produced through the cold-pressing or steam distillation of lemon peels. In the cold-pressing method, the lemon peels are mechanically pressed to extract the oils, while in steam distillation, the peels are subjected to steam to vaporize and condense the essential oils. The resulting oils may then undergo further processing, such as rectification or fractionation, to remove unwanted compounds and produce the desired terpeneless or non-terpeneless varieties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of lemon essential oils under HS code 330113 are fresh lemon peels, which are the raw material source. Additionally, the industry requires specialized machinery and equipment for the extraction and purification processes, as well as energy sources to power the production facilities. Skilled labor, transportation, and logistics infrastructure are also important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the HS code 330113 industry are the various forms of lemon essential oils, including terpeneless and non-terpeneless varieties, as well as concretes and absolutes. These essential oils are widely used as flavoring and fragrance ingredients in a diverse range of products, such as 330210 Perfumes and toilet waters, 330290 Mixtures of odoriferous substances, 330300 Perfumes and toilet waters, and 340111 Soap and organic surface-active products and preparations, for use as soap, in the form of bars, cakes, moulded pieces or shapes.
