3823.19.40.00 - Other

This category encompasses industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids and acid oils derived from refining that are not specifically classified under other HTS subheadings within 3823.19. It includes fatty acids and their refined byproducts that do not fit the more specific definitions of the preceding categories, often due to their source, composition, or intended industrial application.

Unlike the sibling category 3823.19.20.00, which exclusively covers industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids derived from coconut, palm-kernel, or palm oil, this "Other" category is for fatty acids and acid oils originating from different sources or exhibiting varied compositions. For instance, it would include stearic acid or oleic acid derived from animal fats, or mixtures of fatty acids not specifically enumerated elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 3823.19.40.00 is determined by the process of exclusion from more specific descriptions. If a product meets the general criteria of being an industrial monocarboxylic fatty acid or an acid oil from refining, but does not align with the specific oil sources (like coconut or palm) or other defined types of fatty acids, it will be classified here.
