Safflower High Linoleic Oil from United States
Safflower high linoleic oil is a refined safflower oil naturally rich in linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, making it valuable for nutritional supplements and skin care products. The oil is obtained through physical refining processes that do not chemically modify its fatty acid profile, and the high linoleic content is a result of plant breeding rather than chemical treatment. As a refined safflower oil not specified elsewhere, it is classified under tariff item 1512.19.29 for "Other" safflower oil and fractions.
