Last updated: August 2026 dataRefined linseed oil — processed to remove impurities, color, and odor while preserving its drying properties — serves the coatings, wood-finishing, and artist-supply sectors where color stability and consistent viscosity are critical. All refined, non-chemically-modified linseed oil enters under a single tariff line (1515190000), making origin documentation the primary compliance variable. Canada is the dominant supplier, leveraging its large domestic flaxseed crop and established crushing infrastructure, with China and Belgium also contributing to US import flows.

Yes — boiled linseed oil (treated with metallic driers) and stand oil (heat-polymerized) are considered chemically modified and do not classify under 151519. Those products typically fall under Chapter 38 or other headings depending on their composition and use. Importers should confirm the processing method with the supplier before filing entry.
Canada is one of the world's largest flaxseed producers, and its crushing and refining capacity is well-positioned to serve the US market with short transit times and USMCA-eligible supply chains. This geographic and agricultural advantage makes Canadian refined linseed oil a cost-competitive default source for US coatings and industrial buyers.
