1507 — Soya-bean oil and its fractions; whether or not refined, but not chemically modified
Chapter 15: Animal or vegetable fats and oils
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 1507 when importing soya-bean oil, such as a shipment of crude soya-bean oil for food processing. This heading includes both crude and refined fractions, helping you classify your product accurately based on its processing stage.
When deciding between HS-6 150710 and HS-6 150790, consider the oil's state. If you're importing crude soya-bean oil that hasn't been refined or chemically modified, use 150710. For refined soya-bean oil or fractions that have undergone some processing, 150790 is the correct choice.
It's essential to note that both subheadings apply to oils that are not chemically modified. If your shipment includes degummed crude oil, it still falls under 150710. However, if your product is refined, even if it retains some characteristics of crude oil, it should be classified under 150790.
