Safflower Cooking Oil from Japan
Safflower cooking oil is a refined safflower oil high in polyunsaturated fats, with a neutral flavor profile that makes it ideal for salad dressings and light cooking applications. The refining process—typically degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization—is physical and does not chemically alter the oil's composition. As a refined safflower oil not elsewhere specified, it falls under tariff item 1512.19.29, which covers "Other" safflower oil and fractions thereof.

Import Tips
• - Provide a certificate of analysis confirming the oil is refined but not chemically modified, as this supports classification under this item
• - Ensure the product label clearly states "safflower oil" to prevent confusion with sunflower or other seed oils during customs inspection
• - If the oil is packaged for retail, verify compliance with Canada's Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act for bilingual labelling requirements
