Polish Turnip Rape Seeds
Turnip rape seeds (Brassica rapa oleifera) originating from Poland, of a high erucic acid variety intended for biodiesel feedstock. These seeds are not low erucic acid rape or colza seeds and are used for crushing to extract oil for industrial applications. They are classified under tariff item 1205.90.00 as other rape or colza seeds, since they do not meet the erucic acid threshold of subheading 1205.10.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the turnip rape seeds are of a low erucic acid variety with less than 2% erucic acid
Low erucic acid turnip rape seeds fall under subheading 1205.10, which is specifically defined in the subheading note.
If the seeds are imported after being crushed into crude oil
Crude rape or colza oil is classified under heading 15.14, not under oilseed headings.
