Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low erucic acid content (less than 2%)
Low-erucic rapeseed (canola) crude oil has a specific subheading, distinguishing it from higher erucic varieties.
If imported for use as biodiesel feedstock
Statistical breakout exists for rapeseed/colza oil dedicated to biodiesel production, regardless of refinement.
If sold as a set with processing equipment for industrial use
Mixtures of vegetable oils including rapeseed may shift to heading 1507 if not purely identifiable as rapeseed oil.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify oil's erucic acid content via lab testing to confirm it's not low-erucic canola (1514.91.10); misclassification leads to penalties
• Provide certificates of origin and extraction method documentation; crude oil must show no refining processes
• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for edible oils entering the US food chain

Crude Rapeseed Oil #1 Grade
Industrial-grade crude oil from traditional rapeseed varieties, high in erucic acid, used in manufacturing lubricants and inedible products. Falls under HTS 1514.91.90 as other crude rapeseed/colza/mustard oil, unrefined and chemically unmodified. Extracted via mechanical pressing without further treatment.
Crude Colza Oil for Biodiesel
Unrefined colza oil sourced from European Brassica napus, intended as feedstock for biofuel production. HTS 1514.91.90 covers this as other crude rapeseed/colza oil, not chemically modified, distinguishing from refined fractions. High erucic content makes it unsuitable for direct food use.
Crude Mustard Oil Extra Strength
Unrefined oil pressed from mustard seeds (Brassica juncea), pungent and high in allyl isothiocyanate, used in specialty cooking or industrial flavors. Classified in HTS 1514.91.90 as other crude mustard oil, whether or not refined but here unrefined and unmodified. Primarily imported for ethnic food processing.
Industrial Crude Rapeseed Oil
Bulk crude rapeseed oil for non-food industrial applications like paints, inks, and lubricants. HTS 1514.91.90 applies to this other crude variety, unrefined and chemically unchanged post-pressing. High erucic acid provides superior lubricity.
Unrefined Brown Mustard Seed Oil
Cold-pressed oil from brown mustard seeds, retaining natural sediments and color, for artisanal culinary uses. Under HTS 1514.91.90 as other crude mustard oil, not refined or modified. Imported mainly from India for ethnic spice blends.
Crude High-Erucic Rapeseed Oil (HEAR)
Specialty high-erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil, crude fixed, used in polymer and lubricant industries. HTS 1514.91.90 captures this as other crude rapeseed oil, unrefined. Erucic acid >45% differentiates it for industrial applications.
