Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 1515.30.00
Bulk Castor Oil for Biodiesel
Bulk unrefined castor oil intended for biodiesel production. It is a fixed vegetable oil obtained from castor seeds without chemical modification, and its intended use as a biofuel feedstock does not alter its classification under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Castor Oil Fatty Acid Fraction
A ricinoleic acid-rich fraction isolated from castor oil, used in soap manufacturing. The fraction is obtained by physical separation without chemical change, so it remains a castor oil fraction under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Castor Oil for Textile Finishing
Refined castor oil used as a softener in textile processing. The oil undergoes only physical refinement (e.g., filtration, bleaching) and is not chemically modified, so it qualifies as a refined castor oil fraction under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Castor Oil Industrial Grade
Technical-grade castor oil for industrial lubricants and hydraulic fluids. Derived from castor seeds and refined without chemical alteration, it is a fixed vegetable oil classified under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Castor Oil Refined for Cosmetics
Refined castor oil processed for cosmetic use, clear and odorless. The refinement is physical (e.g., bleaching, deodorizing) and does not chemically modify the oil, so it falls under tariff item 1515.30.00 as a refined castor oil fraction.
Cold-Pressed Virgin Castor Oil
Virgin castor oil extracted by cold-pressing without heat or solvents. This unrefined fixed vegetable oil is not chemically modified and is classified under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Deodorized Castor Oil
Castor oil deodorized via steam distillation to remove odor, retaining its core composition. This physical process does not chemically modify the oil, so it remains a refined castor oil under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Organic Castor Oil Certified
Certified organic castor oil from organically grown Ricinus communis seeds, cold-pressed and unrefined. Organic certification does not change the product's nature as an unmodified fixed vegetable oil, so it falls under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Pharmaceutical Castor Oil BP Grade
Pharmaceutical-grade castor oil meeting British Pharmacopoeia standards, purified but not chemically altered. As a fixed vegetable oil refined for medicinal use, it is classified under tariff item 1515.30.00.
Refined Castor Oil USP Grade
Highly refined castor oil meeting United States Pharmacopeia standards for purity and safety. The refinement is physical and does not chemically modify the oil, so it is classified under tariff item 1515.30.00 as a refined castor oil.
