Edible Fat and Oil Mixtures and Preparations (NESOI)

Artificial mixtures and preparations of edible animal or vegetable fats and oils — including salad and cooking oils, baking and frying fats, and wholly hydrogenated single-species oils such as soybean and cottonseed — are classified across a detailed matrix of US tariff lines under 151790, with subdivisions based on soybean oil content (above or below 5%), intended use (salad/cooking, baking/frying), and fat composition. Several lines also capture dairy-containing preparations subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment under Chapter 4 additional US notes, making correct sub-classification critical to duty liability. Canada and Malaysia are the leading suppliers, reflecting both integrated North American food supply chains and Southeast Asia's palm-oil processing capacity. FDA prior notice and food-labeling compliance apply to all food-grade shipments.
