Tariff classification
HTS codes: 3824.90.2800
Headings: 3824
Product description
You state in your inquiry that imported vegetable oil distillate will be entered into a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) and processed into finished Tocopherols (T130 and T155) which are composed of tocopherol, sterols and unsaponifiables. Despite the further processing, T130 and T155 still do not meet the requirements for classification as a vitamin E concentrate under HTS subheading 2936.28.0000. The products do not contain the required percentage of d-alpha tocopherols, nor are the final products (Covoix and Covitol) used for their vitamin activity.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for T130 and T155 will be 3824.90.2800, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included; residual products of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included: other.
