Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil for Food Manufacturing from Canada
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.

Import Tips
• 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
