Industrial Denatured Mustard Seed Oil for Paint and Varnish Production from Japan

This denatured mustard seed oil fraction is used as a drying oil in the manufacture of paints, inks, and varnishes, with impurities removed via refining but no chemical alteration. It is classified under heading 15.14 as a mustard oil fraction, as denaturation does not change its essential character.

Import Tips

• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the oil's iodine value and drying properties to support its use in paints

• The CBSA may check that the oil is not mixed with resins or pigments, which would shift classification to Chapter 32

• Keep the denaturant's identity on the invoice
