About heading 1517

Margarine; edible mixtures or preparations of animal, vegetable or microbial fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, other than edible fats or oils or their fractions of heading 1516

Heading 1517 covers margarine and edible mixtures or preparations of animal, vegetable or microbial fats or oils, or of fractions of different fats or oils of chapter 15, that go beyond the treatments of heading 1516. It splits first into margarine (excluding liquid margarine) under 1517.10 and all other products under 1517.90. The 1517.90 lines split by whether the goods are artificial mixtures of two or more products of headings 1501 to 1515, whether they contain 5% or more by weight of soybean oil, whether dairy products of chapter 4 note 1 are present, and whether the product is a salad or cooking oil, a baking or frying fat, or other.
