Last updated: August 2026 dataCrude canola oil — the trade name for low-erucic-acid rapeseed oil — is classified here when unrefined and enters the US primarily from Canada, which benefits from USMCA preferential tariff treatment. The single 10-digit line (1514110000) covers crude, non-chemically-modified oil with erucic acid content below the threshold that defines the 'low erucic acid' variety. Ukraine and Finland are secondary suppliers. Crude canola oil is a major feedstock for domestic US refining and for biodiesel production, so classification at the crude versus refined stage has both duty and end-use implications.

The Harmonized System defines low-erucic-acid rapeseed or colza oil as oil derived from seeds with an erucic acid content of less than 2 percent by weight of the total fatty acids. Importers should obtain a fatty-acid composition certificate from the supplier to confirm the oil meets this threshold; oil exceeding it would classify under heading 1514 subheadings for high-erucic-acid varieties.
Yes. Canada is a USMCA partner, and crude canola oil originating in Canada and meeting USMCA rules of origin is eligible for preferential tariff treatment. Importers must obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin from the Canadian exporter and ensure the shipment meets the applicable origin criteria to claim the preference at entry.
