The product is used to increase the level of Omega-3 fatty acids in food preparations. 2106 90 98 Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 2106 , 2106 90 and 2106 90 98 . The product is composed of refined tuna fish oil and large quantities (at least 50 %) of other ingredients. Although products of heading 1517 may contain small quantities of other constituents (see also the Harmonized System (HS) Explanatory Note to heading 1517 , second paragraph), classification under that heading is excluded as the product has lost the characteristics of an edible oil of this heading due to its composition. The product is therefore to be classified under heading 2106 as a food preparation not elsewhere specified or included (see also HS Explanatory Notes to heading 2106 , (B)).
