Mixed Rape Colza Seed Cargo from Mexico
Mixed cargo lots of rape and colza seeds with an average erucic acid content exceeding 2% by weight. These seeds are not of the low erucic acid variety and are typically used for crushing to produce industrial oils or biodiesel feedstock. They fall under tariff item 1205.90.00 as 'other' rape or colza seeds, since they do not meet the definition of low erucic acid seeds in subheading 1205.10.

Import Tips
• Ensure the erucic acid content is documented in the commercial invoice, as seeds with less than 2% erucic acid would fall under a different tariff item
• Verify whether the seeds require a phytosanitary certificate from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) before shipment
• Declare the exact weight and moisture content to avoid delays in customs clearance
