Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If valued not over $5/kg
Lower valuation shifts it to the general 'other' category for soybean oil fractions, changing the statistical suffix.
If chemically modified or blended with other oils
Any chemical modification or hydrogenation moves it out of heading 1507 to mixed vegetable oils in heading 1518.
If pre-formulated as a complete IV emulsion product
Finished pharmaceutical preparations for parenteral nutrition are classified in Chapter 30 as medicinal products, not raw oils.
