Soybean Olive Oil Blend Salad Dressing Base from Canada
This artificial mixture combines over 5% soybean oil with olive oil, designed specifically as a salad and cooking oil for home use. It falls under HTS 1517.90.10.20 due to its composition of multiple vegetable oils from headings 1501-1515, with soybean oil exceeding the threshold, and intended for salad or cooking applications rather than margarine. Excludes any mere denaturation covered elsewhere.

Import Tips
• Verify exact soybean oil content via lab analysis to confirm >5% threshold; provide certificates of analysis for customs
• Label products clearly as 'salad and cooking oils' to avoid reclassification as margarine under 1517.10
• Ensure no trans fats exceed limits and comply with FDA prior notice requirements for edible oils
