Overview

This HTS classification, 1512.19.00.40, specifically designates safflower oil and its fractions, whether or not refined but not chemically modified. Safflower oil is derived from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius) and is characterized by its high oleic or linoleic acid content, depending on the specific varietal cultivation. This category encompasses the raw, processed, and fractionated forms of safflower oil that do not undergo further chemical alteration for specific applications.

Within the broader heading of "Sunflower-seed, safflower or cottonseed oil, and fractions thereof," this subcategory specifically isolates safflower oil from its close relatives. It is distinguished from the "Sunflower-seed oil" sibling category, which covers oil derived solely from sunflower seeds. The distinction is based on the botanical origin of the oil and its unique fatty acid profile, which can influence its physical properties and intended uses.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on identifying and correctly classifying safflower oil based on its origin and processing state. Importers and exporters should ensure that the commodity being declared is indeed derived from safflower seeds and meets the criteria of being unrefined or refined but not chemically modified to fall under this specific code.
