Sulfurized Sperm Whale Oil Substitute from Germany
This synthetic blend replicates the properties of sulfurized sperm whale oil for use in marine gear lubricants, relying on vegetable triglycerides that have been sulfurized. As a chemically modified vegetable fat mixture, it falls under tariff item 1518.00.00, which covers inedible fats and oils modified by sulfurization, and is not elsewhere specified in Chapter 15.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product contains no actual sperm whale oil, as marine mammal products are restricted under Canadian wildlife legislation
• Provide a technical datasheet showing the vegetable triglyceride base and sulfurization method to support classification under 1518.00.00
• Check if the product qualifies for duty relief under the Customs Tariff's end-use provisions for industrial lubricants
