Hydrogenated Soybean Fatty Acids from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• Verify whether the product is a single chemically defined compound or a mixture of different fatty acids; if it is a mixture of different acids, it may not qualify under Chapter 29
• Provide a detailed composition breakdown to the CBSA to support classification
• If the product contains added stabilizers or anti-dusting agents, ensure they are solely for preservation or safety and do not alter the product's general use
