Chapter 1207 — Customs Tariff Headings

Products classified under Tariff item 12.07

1207.10.00

Bulk Palm Nuts for Crushing

Bulk palm nuts for crushing are unhusked or partially husked oil palm fruits imported specifically for industrial kernel separation and oil pressing. They fall under tariff item 1207.10.00 as palm nuts and kernels, which includes raw oleaginous fruits of the oil palm in their natural state.

1207.10.00

Cracked Palm Nuts

Cracked palm nuts are hard-shelled fruits of the oil palm containing the kernel inside, intentionally broken for processing. Tariff item 1207.10.00 explicitly covers palm nuts and kernels whether or not broken, so cracked nuts remain within this heading as oleaginous fruits.

1207.10.00

Dried Palm Kernel Pieces

Dried palm kernel pieces are fragmented kernels from oil palm, sun-dried or mechanically dried to reduce moisture for storage and transport. They remain under tariff item 1207.10.00 as broken palm kernels, an oleaginous fruit, provided no further processing such as oil extraction has occurred.

1207.10.00

Fermented Palm Kernels

Fermented palm kernels undergo natural lactic fermentation to enhance flavor or preservation before oil extraction. They remain classified under tariff item 1207.10.00 as palm nuts and kernels, since fermentation is a natural preservation process that does not constitute advanced processing beyond the scope of the heading.

1207.10.00

Fresh Palm Kernel Nuts

Fresh palm kernel nuts are recently harvested kernels still containing natural moisture from oil palm fruits. They are classified under tariff item 1207.10.00 as palm nuts and kernels, whether or not broken, covering them in their raw, unprocessed state.

1207.10.00

Organic Certified Palm Kernels

Organic certified palm kernels are whole kernels from oil palm grown without synthetic pesticides, verified by organic standards. Tariff item 1207.10.00 applies regardless of organic status, as palm nuts and kernels are classified by their nature, not their production method.

1207.10.00

Palm Kernel Halves

Palm kernel halves are palm kernels split into two pieces after shell removal, facilitating oil extraction. Tariff item 1207.10.00 includes such broken forms of palm nuts and kernels as other oil seeds and oleaginous fruits, so halves are covered.

1207.10.00

Whole Palm Kernels

Whole palm kernels are the edible seeds extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). They are classified under tariff item 1207.10.00 as palm nuts and kernels, whether or not broken, used primarily for oil extraction.

1207.21.00

Black Cotton Seeds (Gossypium herbaceum)

Black cotton seeds from Gossypium herbaceum, a variety of cotton seed used for oil and fiber production. They are classified under tariff item 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds, whether or not broken, and are not further processed beyond their natural state.

1207.21.00

Cotton Seeds for Biodiesel Production

High-oil-content cotton seeds selected for biodiesel production, which are crushed and transesterified to produce renewable fuel. These seeds are classified under 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds, whether or not broken, regardless of their end use.

1207.21.00

Cracked Cotton Seeds

Cracked cotton seeds, mechanically broken but not further processed, used for oil pressing or animal feed. They fall under tariff item 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds, whether or not broken, and retain their oleaginous character.

1207.21.00

Delinted Whole Cotton Seeds

Delinted whole cotton seeds with lint fibers removed but kernels intact, used for planting or direct oil milling. They are classified under 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds, whether or not broken, as delinting does not alter their essential character.

1207.21.00

Pima Cotton Seeds

Pima cotton seeds from Gossypium barbadense, a premium variety valued for superior oil quality. They are classified under 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds, regardless of the variety, and are not further processed.

1207.21.00

Unginned Cotton Seeds in Bulk

Raw cotton seeds still attached to the cotton boll or with natural fuzz, shipped in bulk for oil production. They are classified under 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds in their natural form, whether or not broken.

1207.21.00

Upland Cotton Seeds

Upland cotton seeds from Gossypium hirsutum, a common variety used in bulk for cottonseed oil mills. They are classified under 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds, covering all types of cotton seeds for various applications.

1207.21.00

Whole Cotton Seeds for Oil Extraction

Whole cotton seeds for oil extraction, harvested from Gossypium plants and not further processed. They are classified under 1207.21.00 as cotton seeds in their natural seed form, whether or not broken.

1207.29.00

Black Cotton Seeds Variety Pima

Pima variety cotton seeds (Gossypium barbadense) are a type of cotton seed used primarily for specialty oil extraction. They fall under this tariff item as 'other' cotton seeds, since the variety does not affect classification under heading 12.07, which covers oil seeds and oleaginous fruits whether or not broken.

1207.29.00

Broken Cotton Seed Kernels

Broken cotton seed kernels are cotton seeds that have been broken during harvest or light processing but still contain oil. They are classified under this tariff item because heading 12.07 explicitly includes oil seeds 'whether or not broken', and they are not yet processed into residues.

1207.29.00

Cracked Cotton Seeds for Feed

Cracked cotton seeds for feed are lightly cracked but not crushed for oil, and are used in animal feed after oil removal. They fall under this tariff item as 'other' cotton seeds, whether or not broken, since they are not fully processed residues and retain their oil-bearing nature.

1207.29.00

Delinted Cotton Seeds for Processing

Delinted cotton seeds for processing have had their linters removed but are not further processed, making them suitable for oil milling. They are classified under this tariff item as 'other' cotton seeds, since delinting is a preparatory step that does not exclude them from heading 12.07.

1207.29.00

Unginned Cotton Seeds in Bulk

Unginned cotton seeds in bulk are cotton seeds still attached to some fiber remnants, not separated for textile use. They are classified under this tariff item as 'other' cotton seeds, since they are not prepared for sowing or textile purposes and are primarily valued for their oil content.

1207.29.00

Whole Cotton Seeds for Oil Extraction

Whole cotton seeds for oil extraction are unginned seeds harvested from Gossypium plants, used primarily for extracting cottonseed oil. They fall under this tariff item as 'other' cotton seeds, not specifically excluded or prepared for sowing, and are covered by heading 12.07.

1207.30.00

1207.30.00

Dried Castor Oil Seeds

Dried castor oil seeds, sun- or machine-dried to reduce moisture and improve oil yield, fall under tariff item 1207.30.00 as castor oil seeds. Drying is a preservation step that does not change the seed's classification.

1207.30.00

1207.30.00

Hulled Castor Oil Seeds

Hulled castor oil seeds, with outer hulls removed for easier oil processing, remain classified under tariff item 1207.30.00 as castor oil seeds 'whether or not broken'. Hulling is a preparation step that does not affect the tariff classification.

1207.30.00

Organic Castor Oil Seeds

Certified organic whole castor oil seeds, grown without synthetic pesticides, are classified under tariff item 1207.30.00 as castor oil seeds. These are used in natural cosmetics and biofuel production, with organic certification not affecting tariff classification.

Broken Safflower Seeds Bulk Pack

Mechanically cracked safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) seeds supplied in bulk for commercial oil pressing or animal feed blending. Tariff item 1207.60.00 covers safflower seeds whether or not broken, so the cracked form does not change classification.

1207.60.00

High Oleic Safflower Seeds

Genetically selected safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius) with high oleic acid content for stable cooking oil production. Tariff item 1207.60.00 covers all safflower seeds regardless of varietal oil profile, so the high-oleic trait does not affect classification.

1207.60.00

Organic Safflower Seeds Certified

Certified organic whole safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius) grown without synthetic pesticides, intended for organic oil production. Tariff item 1207.60.00 applies to safflower seeds regardless of organic certification, which is a production standard rather than a tariff distinction.
