Refined Sunflower Oil from United States
Refined sunflower oil is crude sunflower-seed oil that has undergone processes such as degumming, neutralization, and deodorization to remove impurities, making it suitable for cooking and food manufacturing. These are physical refining steps that do not chemically modify the oil, so it is classified under tariff item 1512.19.19 as 'other' sunflower-seed oil.

Import Tips
• Maintain documentation of the refining steps (degumming, neutralization, deodorization) to show the oil is not chemically modified
• Ensure the oil is not merely denatured, as denatured oils fall under heading 15.18 per Chapter Note 3
• Check whether the oil is for food use, which may require CFIA compliance
