Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 150790 when importing or exporting refined soya-bean oil and its fractions that are not chemically modified. For example, if you're shipping a bulk container of refined soya-bean oil for use in food production, this is the correct code.

This code specifically covers refined soya-bean oil, which is different from HS-6 150710, which pertains to crude soya-bean oil. If your product is unrefined or raw, you must classify it under the latter.

Refined soya-bean oil can be used in cooking, salad dressings, and as an ingredient in processed foods. It's important to ensure your product meets the criteria for this HS-6 to avoid customs issues.

When considering similar products, note that HS-6 150791 covers chemically modified soya-bean oil. If your oil has undergone any chemical alteration, you would need to use that code instead.
