Products classified under Tariff item 1520.00
Crude Glycerin Byproduct from Palm Oil Refining
Crude glycerin byproduct from palm oil refining, containing approximately 85% glycerol with impurities such as mono/di-glycerides and water. This product falls under tariff item 1520.00.00 as crude glycerol, not further purified or refined.
1520.00.00Crude Glycerol from Biodiesel Production
Crude glycerol obtained as a byproduct from biodiesel production via transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, containing 80-88% glycerol with methanol, soaps, and catalyst residues. This is classified as crude glycerol under tariff item 1520.00.00.
1520.00.00Crude Glycerol from Soybean Oil Transesterification
Crude glycerol from soybean oil transesterification, containing 82% glycerol with catalyst and methanol impurities. This byproduct is classified as crude glycerol under tariff item 1520.00.00, as it is not purified.
1520.00.00Glycerol Waters from Fatty Acid Distillation
Glycerol waters from fatty acid distillation, containing 5-15% dissolved glycerol and salts in an aqueous stream. These dilute solutions are classified as glycerol waters under tariff item 1520.00.00, intended for glycerol recovery.
1520.00.00Soap Lyes from Soap Manufacturing
Soap lyes from soap manufacturing, containing 10-20% glycerol dissolved in salty water with residual soaps. These aqueous waste solutions are classified as glycerol lyes under tariff item 1520.00.00.
1520.00.00Spent Sweetwater from Oleochemical Production
Spent sweetwater from oleochemical production, also known as glycerol waters, containing 8-12% glycerol in dilute form. This crude stream is classified under tariff item 1520.00.00 before evaporation.
1520.00.00Tallow Glycerol Lyes from Animal Fat Splitting
Tallow glycerol lyes from animal fat splitting, containing dissolved glycerol in alkaline spent liquor. These lyes are imported by renderers for glycerol recovery and are classified under tariff item 1520.00.00 as glycerol lyes.
