Crude Linseed Oil (Not Chemically Modified) imports of $137K in July 2026 ran 23% above the year-to-date monthly average of $111K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCrude linseed oil — pressed from flaxseed without further refining — is a foundational drying oil for the paints, varnishes, and linoleum industries, where its high polyunsaturated fatty acid content drives rapid oxidative curing. A single 10-digit tariff line (1515110000) covers all crude, non-chemically-modified linseed oil, simplifying classification but placing the full duty burden on a narrow line. Belgium and Canada are the leading US suppliers, reflecting both European flaxseed processing capacity and proximity-driven logistics from Canadian flax-growing regions.

Crude linseed oil (1515110000) has undergone only mechanical pressing or solvent extraction without bleaching, deodorizing, or other refining steps. Once the oil is subjected to any refining process — such as degumming, neutralization, or bleaching — it moves to the refined linseed oil heading (151519). The processing method at the time of export determines the correct classification.
Importers should verify current antidumping and countervailing duty orders with CBP and the International Trade Commission before shipment, as trade-remedy exposure can change. No blanket Section 301 or Section 232 measures apply specifically to linseed oil, but country-of-origin and product scope should always be confirmed with a licensed customs broker.
