Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-treated with catalysts for biofuel
Biodiesel or treated oils become chemical preparations in Chapter 38.
If animal fats like tallow used similarly
Animal oils for industrial use are in heading 1501, separate from vegetable.
If continuous phase of emulsions
Emulsified soy oils shift to heading 1518 per chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify 'for biodiesel use only' on commercial invoice to aid classification
• Comply with EPA renewable fuel standards documentation for end-use
• Monitor acid value (>5%) to distinguish from food-grade crude

Crude Degummed Soybean Oil
This is unrefined soybean oil that has undergone degumming to remove phospholipids and gums, but remains crude due to retained impurities like free fatty acids. It falls under HTS 1507.10.00.00 as crude soybean oil, whether or not degummed, not chemically modified or further refined.
Non-Degummed Crude Soybean Oil
Raw soybean oil extracted directly from soybeans without degumming, containing natural gums and phospholipids. Classified under HTS 1507.10.00.00 for crude oil, whether or not degummed, ideal for initial processing stages.
Food-Grade Crude Degummed Soy Oil
Crude soybean oil degummed for food processing applications, retaining color bodies and free fatty acids. It qualifies for HTS 1507.10.00.00 as it is not refined beyond degumming and lacks chemical modification.
Industrial Crude Soybean Oil
Unrefined soybean oil for industrial uses like biodiesel feedstock or oleochemicals, either degummed or not. Falls under HTS 1507.10.00.00 for crude soy oil prior to any refining or modification.
Organic Crude Degummed Soybean Oil
Crude oil from certified organic soybeans, degummed but unrefined, preserving natural impurities. Classified in HTS 1507.10.00.00 as crude soybean oil; organic status noted statistically per General Note 6.
High Oleic Crude Soybean Oil
Crude oil from high-oleic soybeans, whether degummed, with elevated monounsaturated fats but unrefined. Remains under HTS 1507.10.00.00 as crude soy oil without chemical changes.
