1516.20.91.00 - Other

This category, HTS 1516.20.91.00, specifically "Other," encompasses vegetable fats and oils, and their fractions, that have undergone partial or complete hydrogenation, inter-esterification, re-esterification, or elaidinization. These processes can alter the physical and chemical properties of the original vegetable oils. This classification applies irrespective of whether the fats and oils have been refined, as long as they have not been further prepared beyond these specific processing steps.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 1516.20.10.00, which specifically covers rapeseed oil that has undergone similar processing. Therefore, HTS 1516.20.91.00 is for all other vegetable fats and oils meeting the processing criteria, excluding rapeseed oil. This includes a wide array of vegetable-derived oils such as soybean oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, or olive oil, which have been hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified, or elaidinized.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1516.20.91.00. Classification within this heading relies on identifying that the product is a vegetable fat or oil, has undergone one or more of the listed chemical modifications, and is not rapeseed oil. The specific degree of processing, refinement status (unless further prepared), and the original source of the vegetable oil are crucial for accurate classification under this residual "Other" designation.
