Bleached Sunflower Oil from Mexico
Bleached sunflower oil is sunflower-seed oil that has been treated with natural bleaching earths to remove color and improve clarity. This physical refining process does not chemically modify the oil, so it remains classifiable under tariff item 1512.19.11 as sunflower-seed oil for processing.

Import Tips
• Ensure the bleaching process uses only physical methods (e.g
• natural earths) and does not involve chemical modification, as this affects classification
• Keep records of the refining process to present to the CBSA if requested
• Verify the oil is intended for further processing, not retail sale, to qualify for this tariff item
