Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If crude or simply pressed
Basic crude linseed oil without dehydration stays in 1515; dehydration is key for 1518.
If from other vegetable oils
Same modifications on non-linseed oils like soybean fall under the residual 1518 subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit dehydration process certificates to differentiate from standard refined oils
• Monitor for rancidity; use stabilizers if shelf life exceeds 6 months
• Bulk import in IBC totes reduces classification risks vs. retail cans

Boiled Linseed Oil
Boiled linseed oil is produced by heating and oxidizing linseed oil to accelerate drying for use as a wood finish and protective coating. It falls under HTS 1518.00.20.00 as a chemically modified vegetable oil from linseed (flaxseed), specifically boiled or oxidized, excluding those in heading 1516.
Polymerized Linseed Oil
Polymerized linseed oil undergoes heat treatment in vacuum or inert gas to increase viscosity for use in alkyd resins and industrial coatings. Classified in HTS 1518.00.20.00 for chemically modified linseed oil fractions, polymerized by heat as specified in the heading.
Blown Linseed Oil
Blown linseed oil is air-oxidized under pressure to create a thick, tacky product used in putties, sealants, and printing inks. It is included in HTS 1518.00.20.00 as linseed oil 'otherwise chemically modified,' specifically blown.
Oxidized Linseed Oil Stand Oil
Stand oil is linseed oil heated and oxidized to form a high-viscosity binder for artists' paints and varnishes. HTS 1518.00.20.00 covers this as oxidized linseed oil, chemically modified for industrial non-food applications.
Sulfurized Linseed Oil
Sulfurized linseed oil is chemically treated with sulfur to enhance extreme pressure properties for industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids. It qualifies under HTS 1518.00.20.00 as sulfurized linseed oil, a specified chemical modification.
Heat-Polymerized Linseed Oil for Alkyds
This linseed oil is polymerized by heat in inert gas for short-oil alkyd resin production in paints. HTS 1518.00.20.00 applies to linseed-specific chemically modified oils via heat polymerization.
