1512.19.00.35 - Other

This classification covers sunflower-seed oil and its fractions, whether or not refined, that are not chemically modified. It encompasses bulk shipments of sunflower-seed oil intended for various industrial or commercial uses beyond direct human consumption as a refined edible product, provided they do not meet the criteria for specific subheadings. Examples include crude sunflower-seed oil, unrefined grades, or fractions separated for industrial applications such as in lubricants or for further processing in manufacturing.

Distinguished from its sibling category, 1512.19.00.25, this classification specifically excludes sunflower-seed oil that has been certified organic. The primary differentiating factor is the absence of organic certification for the oil classified here. This means that while the oil may be pure sunflower-seed oil and meet the general description, it has not undergone the rigorous verification and certification processes required for organic products.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific HTS code. Therefore, the classification relies on the broad definition of "Other" sunflower-seed oil, provided it is not chemically modified and does not qualify for any more specific tariff provisions. Importers and exporters must ensure that their sunflower-seed oil does not fall under more detailed descriptions or specific certifications to correctly assign it to this subheading.
