1517.90.20.60 - Other

This HTS category, 1517.90.20.60, encompasses "Other" artificial mixtures of two or more products classified under headings 1501 to 1515, specifically those falling under the broader subheading for "Baking or frying fats." This classification is for artificial mixtures that do not fit into more specific descriptions within the "Other" category for baking and frying fats, and are not wholly composed of vegetable oils.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 1517.90.20.40, it is crucial to note that this designation applies to artificial mixtures that may contain animal fats, microbial fats, or combinations of vegetable and animal or microbial fats, as long as they are prepared for baking or frying. The sibling category is exclusively for mixtures composed entirely of vegetable oils. This distinction is based on the origin and type of fats and oils comprising the mixture.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 1517.90.20.60 is final for eligible products. Examples of goods that would fall here include artificial shortening or lard substitutes that are not wholly vegetable-based, and are specifically formulated and intended for use in baking or frying applications. The classification hinges on the artificial nature of the mixture, its composition beyond solely vegetable oils, and its end-use as a baking or frying fat.
