Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If conventional sunflower oil
Non-specialty crude sunflower oil uses the primary statistical breakout, separating it from low-linolenic variants.
If fractions are separated
Crude fractions of sunflower oil, like separated stearins, fall under 1512.29 rather than whole crude oil.
If intended for soap production
Crude sunflower oil for technical uses like soapstocks may be reclassified under other fixed oils if not primarily edible.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab tests confirming linolenic acid levels below 3% to distinguish from standard crude oils and support 'other' classification
• Ensure bulk containers meet food-grade standards with proper seals to prevent contamination during ocean freight
• Monitor EU or US origin quotas, as high volumes may trigger additional tariffs or antidumping duties

Crude High Oleic Sunflower Oil
This is crude sunflower-seed oil extracted from high oleic sunflower seeds, not refined or chemically modified, used primarily for further processing into edible oils. It falls under HTS 1512.11.0035 as 'other' crude sunflower-seed oil, distinct from standard varieties due to its high monounsaturated fat content. The oil is typically shipped in bulk for industrial refining.
Organic Crude Sunflower Seed Oil
