1517.90.10.80 - Other

This classification, HTS 1517.90.10.80, specifically covers "Other" artificial mixtures of two or more products from headings 1501 to 1515, which contain 5 percent or more by weight of soybean oil or any fraction thereof, and are not specifically categorized as salad and cooking oils or baking and frying fats. This residual category is for those complex or blended fat and oil preparations that meet the soybean oil threshold but do not fit into more narrowly defined uses or compositions.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 1517.90.10.20, "Salad and cooking oils," encompasses edible oil blends primarily intended for direct use in salads or for general cooking purposes. The sibling category "Baking or frying fats" (implied but not fully detailed) would cover products specifically formulated for high-temperature cooking applications where stability and performance are key. Therefore, HTS 1517.90.10.80 serves as a catch-all for other types of artificial fat and oil mixtures containing significant amounts of soybean oil, but not primarily designated for the aforementioned culinary uses or possessing distinct characteristics that would place them in other subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within HTS 1517.90.10.80 relies on a detailed analysis of the ingredient composition, specifically the percentage of soybean oil by weight, and the absence of characteristics that would warrant classification under more specific headings or subheadings within Chapter 15.
