HS-4 · Heading

1514Rape, colza or mustard oil and their fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified

Chapter 15: Animal or vegetable fats and oils

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 1514 when importing or exporting rape, colza, or mustard oil. For example, if you are shipping crude low erucic acid rape oil for food production, this heading applies. It covers both refined and unrefined oils, so knowing the specific type is crucial.

When deciding between the subheadings, consider the erucic acid content. HS-6 151411 is for crude low erucic acid rape oil, while HS-6 151419 is for refined versions. If your product is crude and has low erucic acid, choose 151411; if it’s refined, go with 151419.

For oils that do not meet the low erucic acid criteria, you’ll look at HS-6 151491 for crude oils and HS-6 151499 for refined oils. This distinction is important for compliance and tariff classification, as non-low erucic oils may have different regulations.
