Overview
This HTS classification covers a broad range of fixed vegetable or microbial fats and oils, and their fractions, that are not chemically modified and are not specifically elsewhere enumerated. This includes various edible and non-edible oils derived from plant sources or microbial fermentation, provided they have not undergone chemical modification. The key characteristic is their origin and the absence of chemical alteration, differentiating them from processed or modified fats and oils.
Within the "Other fixed vegetable or microbial fats and oils" chapter, this specific code, 1515.90.21.00, is distinguished from its sibling category, 1515.90.60.00, by its exclusion of jojoba oil and its fractions. Jojoba oil, with its unique chemical composition and properties, is specifically classified under its own heading, while this code encompasses all other fixed vegetable and microbial oils not otherwise specified.
As a leaf node, 1515.90.21.00 does not have further subcategories for breakdown. Therefore, practical classification relies on identifying oils that meet the general criteria of fixed vegetable or microbial fats and oils, are not chemically modified, and are not specifically classified elsewhere within Chapter 15. Examples may include less common nut oils, seed oils, or microbial oils that do not fall into more specific headings.
