Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If partially hydrogenated (<80% saturation)
Partially hardened fats classified as industrial stearin preparations.
If hydrogenation incomplete
Oleic acid-dominant profiles fall under unsaturated acyclic acids.
If remains of soy oil hardening
Hardening process residues classified as industrial vegetable fat remains.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Iodine value documentation (<10) proves saturation required for 2915 classification
• Hydrogenation process description prevents Chapter 15 oil classification
• Specify 18-carbon predominance for proper saturated acid valuation
