1512.11.00.25 - Certified organic

This category specifically covers crude sunflower-seed oil that has been certified as organic. This means the oil has been produced and processed in accordance with organic farming standards, ensuring it is free from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms. The "certified organic" designation is a key distinguishing factor for goods classified under this heading, indicating a verifiable adherence to organic production methods.

Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike the "Other" subcategory at this level (1512.11.00.35), which would encompass any crude sunflower-seed oil not meeting the specific organic certification, this category is exclusively for products that have undergone a recognized organic certification process. This implies a higher level of scrutiny and documentation regarding the oil's origin and production methods.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. The classification ends with the explicit identification of certified organic crude sunflower-seed oil. Therefore, any crude sunflower-seed oil that meets the organic certification criteria will be classified here, and any crude sunflower-seed oil that does not will be classified under the alternative sibling category.
