Question 1

What does HTS 1518.00 cover?

Accepted Answer

HTS 1518.00 is a 6-digit subheading of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule covering Animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils and their fractions, boiled, oxidized, dehydrated, sulfurized, blown, polymerized by heat in vacuum or in inert gas or otherwise chemically modified, excluding those of heading 1516; inedible mixtures or preparations of animal, vegetable or microbial fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, not elsewhere specified or included. It belongs to Chapter 15 and rolls up 2 10-digit statistical lines that brokers actually file at entry.

Question 2

What is the duty rate for HTS 1518.00?

Accepted Answer

Every 10-digit line under HTS 1518.00 carries a general (Column 1) duty rate of 8%. Section 301, Section 232, and AD/CVD overlays may stack on top of this rate at the per-line level — open a specific 10-digit code to see its complete tariff stack.

Question 3

How do I find the right 10-digit line under HTS 1518.00?

Accepted Answer

U.S. Customs requires entries to be filed at the 10-digit statistical level — the broader subheading HTS 1518.00 is not directly fileable. Match your product description to the most specific 10-digit line in the list on this page; if multiple lines could apply, the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) and chapter notes determine which one governs.

Accepted Answer

Yes — 5 AD/CVD orders flag at least one 10-digit line under HTS 1518.00. Whether a specific shipment falls in scope depends on the country of origin and the order's scope determination. See compliance.tandom.ai for full coverage detail.
