Heading 1516 covers animal, vegetable and microbial fats and oils that have been partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinized. Refining does not move a product out of the heading, but further preparation does. The heading splits first by source: animal in 1516.10, vegetable in 1516.20, and microbial in 1516.30, with a separate line inside 1516.20 for rapeseed oil.
