Oleic Acid (High Purity Vegetable) from Germany
High-purity oleic acid (cis-9-octadecenoic acid) is an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid, not a saturated one. However, if the product is technically processed to be saturated-equivalent or if it is a mixture of isomers, it may fall under Chapter 29. Assuming it is a separate chemically defined compound of oleic acid, it would be classified under heading 2915 as an unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid, but since the tariff item is for 'other' saturated acids, this product may not belong here unless it is actually saturated. If it is oleic acid, it should be classified under a different tariff item for unsaturated acids.

Import Tips
• Verify the actual chemical structure of the product; if it is oleic acid (unsaturated), it does not belong under 2915.90.00, which is for saturated acids
• Consult the Customs Tariff for the correct heading for unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids
• Provide a certificate of analysis to the CBSA to confirm the product's composition
