1510.90 - Other:

This category, HTS 1510.90, encompasses a variety of oils and their fractions derived exclusively from olives. These products are distinct from those classified under heading 1509, which specifically covers olive oil and its fractions. The key distinguishing factor for goods falling under 1510.90 is their derivation solely from olives, and importantly, they are not chemically modified. This includes edible oils and their fractions, as well as blends of these olive-derived oils with other oils or fractions that originate from heading 1509.

Unlike the sibling category 1510.10, which specifically pertains to crude olive pomace oil, this residual category 1510.90 covers all other olive-derived oils and their fractions not otherwise specified. This can include refined oils that remain physically processed but not chemically altered, as well as mixtures that combine these olive oils with those falling under heading 1509, provided the primary olive origin is maintained.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the intended use or specific characteristics of the oil. These include oils rendered unfit for human consumption, which are typically designated for industrial purposes. The existence of these subcategories allows for precise tariff application based on the product's final disposition and marketability.
