The following information should help clarify things.
,----[ C-h v org-latex-default-packages-alist RET ]
| org-latex-default-packages-alist is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
|
| Documentation:
| Alist of default packages to be inserted in the header.
|
| Change this only if one of the packages here causes an
| incompatibility with another package you are using.
|
| The packages in this list are needed by one part or another of
| Org mode to function properly:
|
| - inputenc, fontenc: for basic font and character selection
| - fixltx2e: Important patches of LaTeX itself
| - graphicx: for including images
| - grffile: allow periods and spaces in graphics file names
| - longtable: For multipage tables
| - wrapfig: for figure placement
| - rotating: for sideways figures and tables
| - ulem: for underline and strike-through
| - amsmath: for subscript and superscript and math environments
| - textcomp, amssymb: for various symbols used
| for interpreting the entities in `org-entities'. You can skip
| some of these packages if you don't use any of their symbols.
| - capt-of: for captions outside of floats
| - hyperref: for cross references
|
| Therefore you should not modify this variable unless you know
| what you are doing. The one reason to change it anyway is that
| you might be loading some other package that conflicts with one
| of the default packages. Each element is either a cell or
| a string.
|
| A cell is of the format
|
| ("options" "package" SNIPPET-FLAG)
|
| If SNIPPET-FLAG is non-nil, the package also needs to be included
| when compiling LaTeX snippets into images for inclusion into
| non-LaTeX output.
|
| A string will be inserted as-is in the header of the document.
|
| You can customize this variable.
|
| This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
| version 25.1 of Emacs.
