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.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-mixed with biodiesel catalysts or additives
Biodiesel mixtures become 'biodiesel' under 3826, not pure vegetable oils.
If partially degummed but still considered crude
Minimal processing like degumming may shift to 'other' fractions under 1514.99.
If blended with other vegetable oils over 5%
Mixed vegetable oils fall under heading 1507, not single-origin rapeseed.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare end-use as biodiesel to access potential statistical breaks or exemptions; provide buyer contracts
• Test for free fatty acid content—excessive levels may reclassify as lower-quality residues
• EU-sourced colza often needs GOTS or organic certification if marketed as sustainable feedstock
