Refined Inter-Esterified Rapeseed Oil
Rapeseed oil that undergoes inter-esterification to rearrange fatty acids for better functionality in baking fats. Classified in HTS 1516.20.10.00 for its modified structure via re-esterification while remaining a pure rapeseed fraction, not further prepared. This process enhances physical properties without adding other substances.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide processing certificates detailing inter-esterification method to distinguish from simple refined oils in 1515
• Label with exact fat composition; FDA prior notice required for food-grade imports
• Avoid declaring as 'edible oil' without specs—Customs may classify as further prepared if not purely rapeseed-derived
