HS Code for Rapeseed Oil (HS 1514)

Rapeseed/canola oil is the second-largest vegetable oil by trade volume. HS split: crude (1514.11 low-erucic, 1514.91 other) vs refined (1514.19/1514.99). EU consumption split: ~40% food, ~55% biodiesel/HVO, ~5% technical. RED III caps first-generation biofuel share.

Frequently asked questions

Why is refined dutied higher?

EU tariff escalation - protecting domestic refining capacity. Crude oil imports feed EU crushers/refiners (Cargill, Bunge, ADM, Avril); duty on refined discourages importers from bypassing that value chain. RED III sustainability rules apply equally to crude and refined biofuel feedstock.
