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.

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.
