1517.90.20.80 - Other 🖩

This classification covers "Other" edible mixtures or preparations of animal, vegetable, or microbial fats and oils, or fractions thereof, that are not margarine and not specifically categorized under heading 1516. It specifically includes artificial mixtures formed from two or more products listed in headings 1501 through 1515, which are not otherwise specified. This designation serves as a residual category for such blended fats and oils when they do not fall into more precise subcategories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, "Salad and cooking oils" are generally refined liquid oils intended for direct consumption in uncooked dishes or for general cooking purposes. Similarly, "Baking or frying fats" are specifically formulated for these higher-temperature cooking applications, often possessing properties like higher smoke points or solid consistency. This "Other" category, therefore, captures a broader range of prepared edible fat and oil mixtures that do not fit these more specialized uses.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this category relies on identifying a product as an edible mixture or preparation of fats and oils, not falling under heading 1516, and not specifically meeting the criteria for salad/cooking oils or baking/frying fats. Examples might include certain specialized culinary fats, confectionery coatings, or food ingredient blends where the primary components are fats and oils from various sources.
