Broken Castor Oil Seeds
Mechanically fractured castor oil seeds, ready for oil pressing, are explicitly covered by tariff item 1207.30.00 as 'whether or not broken' includes broken seeds. These are commonly shipped in bulk for biofuel production and industrial oil extraction.
1207.30.00Castor Oil Seeds for biofuel
Castor oil seeds graded specifically for biodiesel production due to their high oil content, falling under tariff item 1207.30.00 as castor oil seeds. These are increasingly imported for renewable energy applications in Canada.
1207.30.00Crushed Castor Oil Seeds
Crushed castor oil seeds, mechanically broken but not further processed, are classified under tariff item 1207.30.00 as castor oil seeds 'whether or not broken'. These are ideal for pressing into castor oil used in cosmetics and industrial lubricants.
1207.30.00Dried 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.
1207.30.00High-Yield Castor Oil Seeds
High-yield hybrid castor seeds bred for maximum oil content (up to 50%), classified under tariff item 1207.30.00 as castor oil seeds. These are primarily imported for industrial applications such as nylon production and specialty chemicals.
