Coconut Fatty Acid Distillate
Coconut fatty acid distillate is recovered from coconut oil deodorizer distillates through stripping, yielding high lauric acid content for industrial soaps and cosmetics intermediates. Though coconut-specific, excess purity places it in 'other' category. HTS 3823.19.4000 applies to such industrial monocarboxylic acids.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If standard coconut/palm kernel fatty acids meeting exact specs
Narrower subheading exists for predominant tropical sources; distillates may not qualify.
If crude coconut oil by-products with high glyceride content
Less processed materials remain under Chapter 15 coconut oils.
If preparations containing for shampoo/detergents
Final hair care formulations classify under Chapter 33 cosmetics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify fatty acid chain distribution (C8-C18, lauric >45%) and distillate origin in commercial invoice
• For cosmetic intermediate use, maintain separation from food/cosmetic chapters via end-use certificates

Palm Stearic Acid
Palm stearic acid is an industrial monocarboxylic fatty acid mixture rich in stearic and palmitic acids, derived from palm oil refining for use in rubber vulcanization and candle production. It qualifies as 'other' under HTS 3823.19.4000 due to its industrial application and mixed chain length composition.
Lard Acidulation Fatty Acids
Fatty acids produced by acidulation of lard soapstock from pork fat refining, yielding industrial-grade mixed palmitic/oleic acids for lubricants and defoamers. HTS 3823.19.4000 'other' covers these animal-derived monocarboxylic acids.
Palm Kernel Fatty Acid Distillate
Palm kernel fatty acid distillate recovered from deodorizer overheads, high in lauric (C12) and myristic (C14) acids for manufacture of toiletry soaps and emulsifiers. Falls in HTS 3823.19.4000 as other industrial fatty acids.
Distilled Tall Oil Fatty Acids
Distilled tall oil fatty acids are industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids derived from the refining of tall oil, a by-product of wood pulping processes. They consist primarily of oleic and linoleic acids used in soaps, lubricants, and alkyd resins. Classified under HTS 3823.19.4000 as 'other' industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids, excluding tall oil fatty acids specified separately.
Oleic Acid Industrial Grade
Industrial grade oleic acid is a monocarboxylic fatty acid extracted from animal or vegetable fats, used in metalworking fluids, emulsifiers, and lubricants. It meets specifications for non-food, industrial applications with typical purity of 70-90%. Falls under HTS 3823.19.4000 as 'other' industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids.
Acid Oils from Soybean Refining
Acid oils from soybean refining are by-products containing free fatty acids liberated during vegetable oil deodorization and neutralization processes. Used industrially in soapstock, animal feed additives, and biofuel production. Classified in HTS 3823.19.4000 as 'other' acid oils from refining.
