1514.99.50.10/Denatured Canola Cooking Oil/Japan

Denatured Canola Cooking Oil from Japan

This is refined canola oil (derived from rapeseed) that has been denatured by adding a substance like methyl alcohol to render it unfit for human consumption, primarily used in industrial applications such as biodiesel production or as a lubricant base. It falls under HTS 1514.99.50.10 because it is denatured rape/colza oil and its fractions, not chemically modified beyond denaturation. Chapter note to heading 1518 confirms denatured oils remain classified under their undenatured headings.

Import Tips

• Verify denaturation certificate from supplier to confirm unfitness for food use and avoid reclassification; ensure documentation specifies additive used (e.g

• methanol) for customs compliance

• Common pitfall: Insufficient proof of denaturation leads to scrutiny under food oil headings
