1205.10.00/Canola Seeds for Oil Extraction/China

Canola Seeds for Oil Extraction from China

Low erucic acid rape or colza seeds, commonly known as canola seeds, used primarily for pressing into edible vegetable oil. These seeds yield oil with less than 2% erucic acid by weight and less than 30 micromoles of glucosinolates per gram in the solid component, fitting the precise definition of HTS 1205.10.00. They are typically harvested from Brassica napus varieties bred for low erucic acid content.

Import Tips

• Verify seed lots meet the subheading note criteria (<2% erucic acid, <30 micromoles glucosinolates/g) with lab certificates to avoid reclassification

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like Alternaria brassicae, common for oilseed rape imports

• Declare intended use (e.g

• oil crushing) accurately, as processing intent can trigger agricultural quotas or additional inspections
