Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for use as edible mustard oil
Edible mustard oil has a distinct subheading from industrial crude uses.
If processed into fractions for other uses
Any fractionation, even without chemical modification, moves it out of crude heading.
If chemically modified post-import
Chapter note excludes chemically modified vegetable oils from heading 1518.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include bills of lading noting 'for rubber substitute manufacture' and retain production logs
• Watch for reclassification if oil shows any refining (e.g
• degumming), which voids crude status
• Consult CBP for pre-import rulings if blending with other oils is planned post-import
