Products classified under HTS 1512.29.00.20
Once-Refined Cottonseed Cooking Oil
This is cottonseed oil that has undergone a single refining step involving alkali or caustic wash to remove impurities like free fatty acids and gums, but it has not been bleached or deodorized. It falls under HTS 1512.29.0020 as once-refined cottonseed oil, distinct from fully refined or crude varieties. Primarily used in food manufacturing for frying and baking.
Once-Refined Cottonseed Salad Oil Base
Cottonseed oil refined only via caustic wash to neutralize and degum, serving as a base for higher-grade salad oils before final processing. Classified under HTS 1512.29.0020 due to its once-refined state without bleaching or deodorization. Used in food industry for blending into dressings and mayonnaise.
Industrial Once-Refined Cottonseed Oil
Cottonseed oil subjected solely to alkali or caustic washing for industrial applications like soap production or animal feed emulsifiers. HTS 1512.29.0020 applies as it matches the once-refined definition without further purification. Not intended for direct human consumption.
Once-Refined Cottonseed Oil for Margarine Blending
Partially refined cottonseed oil via caustic wash, used as a blend component in margarine production before final hydrogenation. Fits HTS 1512.29.0020 as once-refined, not chemically modified or fully purified. Essential in shortening and spread manufacturing.
Food-Grade Once-Refined Cottonseed Oil
Cottonseed oil alkali-washed for initial purification in food processing plants, pending further refinement. Classified precisely under HTS 1512.29.0020 for its single-step refinement. Used in canned goods and snack food frying.
Bulk Once-Refined Cottonseed Oil for Bakers
Caustic-washed cottonseed oil shipped in bulk for bakery shortenings, not yet deodorized. HTS 1512.29.0020 captures this intermediate refinement stage. High smoke point suits high-heat baking applications.
Once-Refined Cottonseed Oil Degummed Grade
Cottonseed oil after caustic neutralization and degumming but pre-bleach, for further industrial processing. Strictly HTS 1512.29.0020 as once-refined per definition. Common in oleochemical production.
Neutralized Cottonseed Oil Once-Refined
Cottonseed oil neutralized with alkali wash to reduce acidity, without bleaching or deodorizing steps. HTS 1512.29.0020 designation for this specific refinement level. Used in confectionery fat bases.
Caustic-Washed Cottonseed Oil for Frying
Cottonseed oil processed with caustic soda wash for impurity removal, ideal for commercial deep-frying pre-final refinement. Matches HTS 1512.29.0020 exactly as once-refined. High oleic content for stability.
Once-Refined Cottonseed Oil RBD Precursor
Precursor to RBD (refined, bleached, deodorized) cottonseed oil, limited to caustic wash refinement. HTS 1512.29.0020 for this intermediate product. Supplied to refineries for final processing.
