Customs code · HS subheading 1517 90

Final code reached

Edible liquid mixtures of vegetable oils with milk fat of <= 10% by weight

This is a complete 8-digit customs code. Exports and Intrastat use it as it is. For an import into the EU the declaration uses 1517 90 91 00: this code with 00 added.

This code covers edible liquid mixtures made from vegetable oils with milk fat of <= 10% by weight. It does not cover mixtures of olive oil or oils that have been hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinised, even if refined but not otherwise worked.

For example

  • Edible liquid mixture of sunflower oil and rapeseed oil containing milk fat of <= 10% by weight
  • Edible liquid mixture of soybean oil and sunflower oil containing milk fat of <= 10% by weight
See the official tariff text
