Hydrogenated Soybean Fatty Acids
Hydrogenated soybean fatty acids are a mixture of saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, primarily palmitic and stearic acids, produced by hydrogenation of soybean oil fatty acids. As a mixture of fatty acids, it may not be a single chemically defined compound, but if it consists of a mixture of isomers of the same compound or is a product of heading 29.41, it could fall under Chapter 29. However, if it is a mixture of different fatty acids, it may be classified elsewhere; assuming it meets the criteria as a separate chemically defined compound or a mixture of isomers, it falls under 2915.90.00.
