RE: The tariff classification of vegetable oils from Canada and
Holland.
Dear Ms. Goldenberg:
In your letter dated September 2, 1993, on behalf of Loders
Croklaan, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Samples were submitted with your request. The subject merchandise
consists of CLSP 870, which is described as a fractionated, hydrogenated
vegetable oil based on cottonseed and soybean oils, and CLSP 499, which is
a refined, fractionated, non-hydrogenated palm kernel oil produced in
Holland. You indicate that in order to produce CLSP 870, LB 870 is
deodorized and bleached in Canada.
The applicable subheading for the CLSP 499 palm kernel oil will be
1513.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for palm kernel or babassu oil and its fractions...other. The
duty rate will be free.
Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to give a
classification ruling on the CLSP 870 vegetable oil mixture. Your request
for a classification ruling should include the origin of the cottonseed and
soybean oils, where the oils are processed prior to shipment to Canada, a
description of the deodorization and bleaching processes performed in
Canada and how the finished oil will be used after it is returned to the
United States. .
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents
filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been
filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the
Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
