Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 1515.90.81
Refined Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil extracted from jojoba seeds, refined but not chemically modified, used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It falls under HTS 1515.90.81 as a fixed vegetable oil explicitly mentioned in the heading for other fixed vegetable fats and oils and their fractions. The 'other' subheading applies since it is neither chemically modified nor a primary listed type.
Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil
Palm kernel oil separated into fractions like olein and stearin through physical fractionation, not chemically modified, used in food manufacturing and confectionery. Classified under HTS 1515.90.81 as 'other' fixed vegetable oils and their fractions, excluding primary palm types listed separately. Remains in this code due to its non-chemically modified status.
Refined Shea Butter
Shea butter derived from shea nuts, refined through filtering and deodorizing without chemical modification, widely used in skincare and chocolate production. It qualifies for HTS 1515.90.81 as an 'other' fixed vegetable fat, not listed in primary subheadings and chemically unmodified. The solid fat form at room temperature fits the fixed fat definition.
Microbial Algal Oil DHA Fraction
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) rich oil fraction produced via microbial fermentation from algae, not chemically modified, used in nutritional supplements. Falls under HTS 1515.90.81 explicitly covering microbial fats and oils as 'other' fixed types, distinguished from marine animal oils. The single-cell oil fraction is physically separated.
Illipe Butter Refined
Refined illipe butter from illipe nuts (Shorea spp.), a hard vegetable fat used in chocolate and cosmetics, physically refined without chemical changes. Classified in HTS 1515.90.81 as 'other' fixed vegetable fats not specified elsewhere, fitting the jojoba oil inclusive language. High melting point characterizes its fixed nature.
Mango Kernel Fat Fraction
Fat extracted and fractionated from mango kernels, refined for use in soaps and shortenings, no chemical modification applied. HTS 1515.90.81 covers this as an 'other' fixed vegetable fat fraction, similar to jojoba, from fruit seeds. Physical processing keeps it in the unmodified category.
Kokum Butter Refined
Refined kokum butter from Garcinia indica seeds, a solid vegetable fat for skincare and confectionery, physically processed only. Falls under HTS 1515.90.81 as other fixed vegetable fats, not chemically modified and not primary listed oils. Its butter-like consistency fits fixed fat criteria.
Sal Butter Fractionated
Shorea robusta sal butter fractionated into high-oleic fractions, refined for food and pharma uses, no chemical mods. HTS 1515.90.81 includes this as other fixed vegetable fat from Shorea seeds, akin to illipe. Fractionation is physical separation.
Cupuacu Butter Refined
Refined butter from cupuacu fruit seeds (Theobroma grandiflorum), used in cosmetics, physically refined only. Classed in HTS 1515.90.81 as other fixed vegetable fat, Amazonian origin but not cocoa-related heading. Unmodified status confirmed.
Murumuru Butter
Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter, refined for hair care products, no chemical modification. HTS 1515.90.81 captures this exotic fixed vegetable fat as 'other', physically processed fraction. High lauric acid content typical.
Bacuri Butter Refined
Refined bacuri (Platonia insignis) butter from Amazon seeds, used in lotions, unmodified. Under HTS 1515.90.81 as other fixed vegetable fats, rare type included in broad heading. Butter consistency at ambient temps.
