The oil blends will be packed for industrial use.

The applicable subheading for the five palm oil/cocoa butter mixtures will be 2106.90.9998, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not elsewhere specified or includedotherother. The rate of duty will be 6.4 percent ad valorem.
