1512 11 99 — Crude safflower oil (excl. for technical or industrial uses)

1512 Sunflower-seed, safflower or cotton-seed oil and fractions thereof, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified (+): – Sunflower-seed or safflower oil and fractions thereof: 1512 11 – – Crude oil 1512 19 – – Other – Cotton-seed oil and its fractions: 1512 21 – – Crude oil, whether or not gossypol has been removed 1512 29 – – Other

(A) Sunflower oil. This oil is obtained from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus), it has a light golden yellow color. It is used as a salad oil in the production of margarine and Lard substitutes. Sunflower oil is semi-drying, which determines its use in the production of paints or varnishes. (B) SAFLORE OIL. The seeds of safflower (Carthamus tinc toris), this important plant dye, give drying edible oil. It is used in cooking and medicine, is used for the manufacture of alkyd resins, paints and varnishes. (C) Cotton oil. This is the most valuable of the semi-drying oils obtained from the seeds of some species of the genus Gossypium. Cotton oil is widely used in industry, for example, in the manufacture of leather, soaps, lubricants, glycerol and water repellent formulations, and as a basis for cosmetic creams. Pure refined ovan cotton oil is valued as a salad or cooking oil, in the production of margarine and lard substitutes. Explanation of subheadings.
