Refined High-Linoleic Safflower Oil from China
Refined high-linoleic safflower oil is a safflower oil processed to remove impurities while retaining its naturally high linoleic acid content, making it suitable for nutritional supplements and margarine production. The refining process involves physical steps such as degumming, neutralization, and deodorization, which do not chemically alter the oil's fatty acid composition. As a refined safflower oil not specified elsewhere, it falls under tariff item 1512.19.29 for "Other" safflower oil and fractions thereof.

Import Tips
• - Maintain a certificate of analysis showing the linoleic acid content and confirming no chemical modification, which is key for classification
• - If the oil is for supplement use, ensure compliance with Health Canada's Natural Health Products Regulations
• - Declare the oil's end use (e.g
• food, supplement) to customs, as this may influence inspection priorities
