1514.91.90 - Other

This HTS category, 1514.91.90, encompasses "Other" crude oils derived from rapeseed, colza, or mustard seed, which have not undergone chemical modification. These oils are in their raw, unrefined state and are intended for uses not specifically enumerated in other subheadings within the 1514.91 classification. The "crude oil" designation signifies that the product has undergone initial pressing or extraction but has not yet been subjected to refining processes such as degumming, neutralization, bleaching, or deodorizing.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 1514.91.10.00, which specifically covers crude rapeseed, colza, or mustard oil imported for use in the manufacture of rubber substitutes or lubricating oil. In contrast, 1514.91.90.00 serves as a residual category for crude oils of this type when their intended end-use is not for these specialized applications, or when the end-use is not otherwise specified.

Within this broader classification, two distinct subcategories exist to further refine the classification. 1514.91.90.10 pertains to crude rape or colza oil and its fractions, differentiating it by the specific botanical source. Similarly, 1514.91.90.20 covers crude mustard seed oil and its fractions, again based on its distinct botanical origin. This subdivision allows for more precise tracking and statistical reporting based on the type of oil.
