Last updated: April 2026 dataCommercially known as canola seed, low erucic acid rape or colza seed is defined by its erucic acid content falling below the threshold specified in US schedule notes — a chemical specification that distinguishes it from high-erucic-acid rapeseed and determines which 10-digit line applies. Canada dominates supply of this heading, reflecting its position as the world's largest canola exporter and the geographic logic of cross-border oilseed trade; Argentina and Germany are secondary sources. The four lines under this heading separate sowing seed (1205100010), oil-stock seed (1205100020), and residual uses (1205100090), with a consolidated line (1205100000) also present. Importers should retain erucic acid test results or supplier specifications to substantiate the low-erucic classification at entry.

The US tariff schedule incorporates a note defining the erucic acid content ceiling for low erucic acid rape or colza seeds. Importers should consult the current US HTS chapter notes and, where the erucic acid level is near the boundary, obtain laboratory analysis from an accredited testing facility to document compliance before filing entry.
Canada is a USMCA partner, and canola seed originating in Canada and meeting USMCA rules of origin may qualify for preferential duty treatment under that agreement. Importers must file a valid USMCA certification of origin and ensure the goods meet the applicable origin criteria to claim the preference.
