Terpenic oils; produced by the treatment of coniferous woods, crude dipentene, sulphite turpentine and other crude para-cymene, n.e.c. in heading no. 3805

HS code 380590 covers a range of terpenic oils derived from the processing of coniferous woods and related materials. These oils are an important source of natural chemicals and solvents, with applications across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and industrial cleaning. As a key component in the broader forestry and chemical sectors, the production and trade of these terpenic oils play a significant role in the global economy.

The production of terpenic oils covered under HS code 380590 typically involves the distillation or extraction of volatile compounds from coniferous woods, crude dipentene, sulphite turpentine, and other related materials. This process often utilizes steam distillation or solvent extraction techniques to separate the desired terpenic compounds from the raw materials. The specific production methods may vary depending on the source material and the desired characteristics of the final product.

The main inputs required for the production of terpenic oils under HS code 380590 include coniferous woods, crude dipentene, sulphite turpentine, and other related raw materials. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment such as distillation columns, extraction vessels, and purification systems. Energy sources, such as steam or electricity, are also essential for the various processing steps involved.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 380590 are a range of terpenic oils, which can be used as solvents, fragrances, and chemical feedstocks. These oils may be further processed or blended to meet the specific requirements of various end-use industries, including 380510 Gum, wood or sulphate turpentine and other terpenic oils produced by the distillation or other treatment of coniferous woods, 330129 (Essential oils (except those of citrus fruit), n.e.c. in heading no. 3301), and 340290 (Organic surface-active agents (except soap); surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, n.e.c. in heading no. 3401 or 3402).
