Bird Rape Seeds (Brassica rapa oleifera) from Germany
Small-seeded Brassica rapa oleifera, known as bird rape, imported whole or broken for oil extraction in bird feed or industrial uses. These seeds have high erucic acid content, exceeding 2% by weight, and thus do not meet the definition of low erucic acid rape or colza seeds. They are classified under tariff item 1205.90.00 as other rape or colza seeds.
