Denatured Mustard Seed Oil for Industrial Lubricants from China
This is refined mustard seed oil that has been denatured by adding a denaturant to render it unfit for human consumption, used primarily as a base for bio-lubricants in machinery. As it is not chemically modified, it remains classified under heading 15.14 for mustard oil, despite the denaturation.

Import Tips
• Clearly label the product as denatured and unfit for human consumption to avoid food-safety scrutiny from the CBSA
• Keep a sample of the denaturant and its safety data sheet (SDS) for inspection
• Note that Chapter Note 3 confirms merely denatured oils stay in heading 15.14, so you can reference this in your customs documentation
