Rapeseed Acid Oil
Rapeseed acid oil is generated during canola/rapeseed oil refining, containing 40-80% free fatty acids primarily oleic and erucic types for industrial soap noodles and metal working. Qualifies as 'other' acid oils under HTS 3823.19.4000.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low erucic crude rapeseed oil (<2%)
Canola-type oils remain in Chapter 15 until significant acidulation occurs.
If processed into biodiesel esters
Transesterified fatty acid methyl esters classify as biodiesel in heading 3826.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Test and certify FFA content range and phosphorus levels to distinguish from crude oils
• EU origin requires low erucic acid documentation if making food claims (avoid entirely for industrial)

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.
