Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil for Food Manufacturing
This is rapeseed oil that has been partly hydrogenated to increase stability and shelf life, commonly used in industrial food production like margarine and shortenings. It falls under HTS 1516.20.10.00 as a vegetable oil fraction that is partly or wholly hydrogenated but not further prepared into consumer products. The hydrogenation process modifies the fatty acid profile without chemical changes that would shift it to another heading.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If crude and unrefined
Crude rapeseed oil before any hydrogenation or refining goes to heading 1514 for low erucic acid rape/colza oil.
If chemically modified beyond hydrogenation, like re-esterified with other fats
Edible mixtures of vegetable fats with >10% butterfat or further inter-esterified fall under 1517.
If further prepared into margarine or shortening
Once mixed with other ingredients or emulsified for direct consumption, it becomes a prepared edible mixture in 1518.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the degree of hydrogenation via lab analysis to confirm classification under 1516, as fully saturated fats may shift to other codes
• Include certificates of analysis showing rapeseed origin and processing method; ensure no additives exceed 'not further prepared' limits
