Other oils and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, including blends of these oils and fractions with oils or fractions of heading 1509
Analysis
Heading 1510 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other oils and their fractions, obtained solely from olives, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, including blends of these oils and fractions with oils or fractions of heading 1509. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 5 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 5 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
4 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 15.
The largest subheadings are 1510.90 (other, 3 lines) and 1510.10 (crude olive pomace oil, 2 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Soybean and Other Oilseed Processing (311224). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
