HTS heading 1514 is a broad product category for rapeseed, colza, or mustard oil and their fractions. It covers these vegetable oils whether they are crude or refined, as long as they have not been chemically modified. “Fractions” are separated portions of the oil, such as a liquid or solid portion obtained through a physical process.
The 4-digit heading is not usually the final classification for an imported product. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, follow the subheadings under heading 1514 and match the product’s material or type—for example, whether it is rapeseed/colza oil or mustard oil, and whether the tariff structure distinguishes crude, refined, or a particular fraction. Confirm the full code and its current description in the official HTSUS, because additional digits can reflect commercially important distinctions.
What to check
- Check the product’s true oil source: rapeseed, colza, or mustard, using the ingredient statement, specification sheet, and supplier records.
- Determine whether the oil is crude, refined, or a fraction, and document the processing steps used; do not treat ordinary physical refining as chemical modification.
- Confirm that the product has not been chemically modified, such as by hydrogenation or another chemical process; unusual processing may require classification review.
- Read every subheading under 1514 and match the product to the most specific description, rather than stopping at the 4-digit heading.
- Verify the complete 8-digit HTSUS code and any related measures in the current official tariff data; ask a customs broker or classification specialist if the oil blend, processing, or documentation is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
