Industrial Crude Corn Germ Oil from Germany

Crude oil derived from corn germ for non-edible industrial uses like biodiesel feedstock or soap production. It is unrefined and not chemically modified, so it falls under tariff item 1515.21.00 regardless of end use.

Duty Rate — Germany → Canada

4.5%

Import Tips

• Note that end use does not affect classification; the oil must be crude and unmodified

• Provide evidence of crude status for customs

• Check if industrial use requires any special permits from CBSA
