Natural Tartaric Acid from Wine Lees from Japan
Natural tartaric acid extracted from wine lees is chemically identical to synthetic tartaric acid, with the same molecular structure. Under Chapter 29 Note 1(a), the origin does not affect classification, so it falls under tariff item 2918.12.00. It is preferred for organic certification and natural product applications.
