Coconut Fatty Acid Distillate from Germany
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.
