1514.99.90.20 - Mustard seed oil and its fractions

This HTS classification, 1514.99.90.20, specifically addresses mustard seed oil and its various fractions. This encompasses the entirety of oils derived from mustard seeds, whether they are in their crude, refined, or partially processed states, as long as they have not undergone chemical modification. This category is designed to capture mustard seed oil that does not fit into more specific sub-classifications.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1514.99.90.10 (Rape or colza oil and its fractions), lies in the botanical origin of the oil. While both fall under the broader heading of "Rapeseed, colza or mustard oil, and fractions thereof," this code is exclusively for oils derived from mustard seeds, whereas the sibling code pertains to oils from rapeseed or colza. The classification hinges on the precise type of oilseed used for extraction.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification to this specific code relies on confirming that the product is indeed mustard seed oil or its fractions and that it has not been chemically modified. Examples of products that would fall here include refined mustard oil sold for culinary purposes, or specific fractions of mustard seed oil used in industrial applications, provided they meet the outlined criteria.
