Refined Palm Kernel Oil from Mexico
Refined palm kernel oil has undergone degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities, all physical processes that do not chemically modify the oil. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the refined oil is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as these refining steps are standard for such food applications.
