Products classified under HTS 3803.00.00.00
Crude Tall Oil
Crude tall oil is a by-product obtained from the kraft pulping process of pine trees, consisting of a mixture of fatty acids, rosin acids, and other extractives. It falls under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as tall oil in its unrefined state, directly from the manufacturing process.
Refined Tall Oil
Refined tall oil is crude tall oil that has undergone purification to remove impurities, concentrating fatty and rosin acids for industrial use. It remains classified under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as 'tall oil, whether or not refined' per the heading description.
Tall Oil Fatty Acids
Tall oil fatty acids are obtained by refining crude tall oil through distillation, primarily containing oleic and linoleic acids used in soaps and lubricants. Still classified under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as refined tall oil products.
Tall Oil Rosin
Tall oil rosin is the resinous fraction separated from tall oil during refining, rich in abietic acid for use in adhesives and printing inks. It qualifies under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as refined tall oil.
Distilled Tall Oil
Distilled tall oil results from vacuum distillation of crude tall oil, yielding a cleaner mixture of acids for chemical manufacturing. Covered by HTS 3803.00.00.00 encompassing all tall oil refinement levels.
Tall Oil Pitch
Tall oil pitch is the heavy residue from tall oil distillation, used as a binder in fuels and asphalt extenders. It is classified under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as a refined tall oil product.
Fractionated Tall Oil
Fractionated tall oil separates specific acid fractions via advanced refining for targeted uses like emulsifiers. Remains under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as refined tall oil.
Tall Oil Emulsifier Base
This semi-refined tall oil serves as a base for emulsifiers in asphalt and paper sizing. HTS 3803.00.00.00 applies to all tall oil regardless of end-use formulation.
Refined Tall Oil for Soap Production
High-purity refined tall oil used specifically in soap manufacturing due to its fatty acid content. Classified under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as it matches the tall oil definition.
Tall Oil Heads Fraction
The light 'heads' fraction from tall oil distillation, containing volatile unsaponifiables for ink solvents. Falls under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as distilled tall oil.
Tall Oil for Paint Driers
Refined tall oil formulated as a base for metallic soap driers in paints. HTS 3803.00.00.00 covers it prior to metal salt formation.
Crude Tall Oil from Southern Pine
Crude tall oil sourced from southern yellow pine kraft mills, unrefined for further processing. Directly matches HTS 3803.00.00.00 definition.
Tall Oil Distillate for Lubricants
Distilled tall oil fraction optimized for lubricant additives due to high oleic content. Under HTS 3803.00.00.00 as refined tall oil.
Refined Tall Oil Unsaponifiables
Unsaponifiable fraction from refined tall oil, containing sterols for pharmaceuticals. Still HTS 3803.00.00.00 as tall oil component.
