1201.90.00.05/Whole Canola Seeds for Oil Extraction/Germany

Whole Canola Seeds for Oil Extraction from Germany

These are intact low erucic acid rapeseed (canola) seeds primarily cultivated and imported for crushing to produce edible oil. They fall under HTS 1201.90.00.05 as soybean alternatives classified as 'seeds of a kind used as oil stock' in the 'other' category under soybeans, though technically rapeseeds, due to tariff structure for oilseeds. The seeds yield oil with less than 2% erucic acid per subheading note.

Import Tips

• Verify low erucic acid content (<2% by weight) with lab certificates to comply with subheading 1205.10 definitions applied analogously

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming seeds are for oil processing, not sowing, to prevent reclassification under 1209

• Declare as 'oil stock' on entry documents; common pitfall is undervaluation based on bulk agricultural imports
