Deodorized Safflower Oil from United States
Deodorized safflower oil is refined safflower oil that has undergone steam distillation to remove volatile odor compounds, resulting in a neutral-flavored oil suitable for mayonnaise and other products where a bland taste is desired. This physical refining process does not chemically modify the oil, so it falls under tariff item 1512.19.29 as "Other" safflower oil and fractions thereof, not elsewhere specified. The oil retains its natural triglyceride structure and is classified based on its botanical origin and processing method.

Import Tips
• - Ensure the oil is not chemically modified; retain processing records showing steam distillation only, as chemical modification would change classification
• - Declare the botanical origin (safflower) clearly on the commercial invoice to avoid misclassification under sunflower or cottonseed headings
• - Verify if the oil is for food use; if so, comply with CFIA labelling and food safety requirements under the Safe Food for Canadians Act
