Refined Low-Erucic-Acid Rapeseed (Canola) Oil and Fractions

High-oleic canola oil is a variety of low-erucic-acid rapeseed oil bred for an elevated oleic acid content; it is not chemically modified and retains the low-erucic-acid characteristic. Provided it meets the erucic acid threshold and has been refined but not chemically altered, it is properly classified under 1514190000. Importers should document the fatty acid profile to support this classification if questioned by CBP.

FDA requires that edible oils sold at retail bear a Nutrition Facts panel and an ingredient declaration. For canola oil specifically, FDA has authorized the use of the common name 'canola oil' on labels, even though the official botanical name is rapeseed oil. Importers supplying retail-ready packaged product must ensure label compliance before the goods enter US commerce; non-compliant labeling can result in refusal of entry or a request for relabeling under CBP supervision.
