Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

1512.11.00Same rate: 20.9%

If solvent-extracted

Standard solvent-extracted crude uses the primary code, while cold-pressed is 'other' due to extraction method.

1515.90Lower: 13.2% vs 20.9%

If further processed into fractions

Separated fractions like oleins from cold-pressed oil move to heading 1515 for other fixed vegetable fat fractions.

Import Tips & Compliance

Document cold-pressing method and temperature logs to prove it hasn't undergone refining processes

Test for residual solvent levels (should be zero) to confirm mechanical extraction and crude status

Use temperature-controlled shipping to preserve quality, as degradation could lead to reclassification
