Alternative Classifications

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

1514.91.90Higher: 23.9% vs 10%

If for animal feed or general industrial use

Lacks specific declaration for rubber/lubricant end-use, defaulting to other crude oil category.

1514Same rate: 10%

If low-erucic acid content (canola-type)

Low-erucic rapeseed/colza oils are segregated into separate subheadings regardless of use.

1522.00.00Higher: 21.3% vs 10%

If containing soap-stocks or foots from processing

Chapter notes explicitly direct residues like soap-stocks to heading 1522.
