Products classified under Tariff item 1515.60.00
Bulk Microbial Triglyceride Oil
Bulk triglyceride-rich oil produced by engineered microbial hosts, intended for industrial lubricants. It is a fixed microbial fat, unrefined and not chemically modified, which falls squarely under tariff item 1515.60.00 for microbial fats and oils.
Crypthecodinium Cohnii Microbial DHA Oil
Whole microbial oil extracted from Crypthecodinium cohnii dinoflagellates, used in aquaculture feeds. It is a fixed microbial fat, not fractionated or chemically altered, and thus fits tariff item 1515.60.00 for microbial fats and oils.
Fermented Yeast Derived Microbial Fat
Unrefined microbial fat extracted from oleaginous yeast cultures like Yarrowia lipolytica, used in biodiesel and oleochemicals. It qualifies as a fixed microbial fat under tariff item 1515.60.00, provided it is not chemically modified.
Fungal Beta-Carotene Rich Oil Fraction
Fraction from fungal fermentation high in beta-carotene oils, intended for fortification. As a fraction of a microbial fat, it falls under tariff item 1515.60.00, which includes microbial fats and their fractions, whether or not refined.
Microalgal EPA Oil Concentrate
EPA-concentrated fraction from microalgae, refined for heart health supplements. It is a refined microbial oil fraction, not chemically modified, and therefore falls under tariff item 1515.60.00 for microbial fats and oils and their fractions.
Oleaginous Fungal Lipid Fraction
Lipid fraction from oleaginous fungi like Blakeslea trispora, rich in beta-carotene precursors, for nutraceuticals. It is a physically refined microbial oil fraction, maintaining its natural fat profile, and falls under tariff item 1515.60.00.
Refined Microbial Algal Oil DHA
Refined fraction of microbial oil produced by fermentation of algae, rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), used in infant formula and nutritional supplements. It falls under tariff item 1515.60.00 as a microbial fat and fraction, refined but not chemically modified.
Refined Schizochytrium Algal Oil Fraction
A DHA-enriched fraction from Schizochytrium sp. microalgae fermentation, refined for pharmaceutical and food use. It is physically refined only, not chemically modified, and thus falls under tariff item 1515.60.00 for microbial fats and oils and their fractions.
Refined Thraustochytrid Microbial Fat
Fat from Thraustochytrid protists, refined for omega-3 supplements. It is a microbial fat fraction, physically refined only, and falls under tariff item 1515.60.00 for microbial fats and oils.
Single Cell Microbial Oil ARA Fraction
A fraction of arachidonic acid (ARA)-rich oil derived from fermented Mortierella alpina fungi, used in nutritional products. It is a microbial oil fraction, refined but not chemically modified, and falls under tariff item 1515.60.00.
